What do Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Al Gore and Bill Clinton have in common?

55. Ok, so we agree that he could have answered the question better,

but that's not just it. I am not gliding over his support of Mello, it's important to reference for a couple reasons..

As much as I find Mello's views on abortion reprehensible, Democrats need to make inroads in conservative districts and Sanders has said that there's room for compromise on Abortion. So Sanders is capable of pragmatism and compromise even though he's attacked such approaches in the past. Water under the bridge I suppose yet...

He applied a purity test in that interview, it's not as though that's news for us is it?, which is why Ossoff responded today that he has no time for purity tests, leaving it to the pundits to define who he is. Sanders also said he will not support a Democrat simply because of the D behind their name because not all democrats are progressive, yet Mello's stance on abortion isn't exactly progressive, so how does this work?

And I will point out when Sanders does something off. There's a lot I have had to make peace with where Sanders is concerned, which I will not rehash here, but if I see ridiculous criticisms of the democratic party and empty sloganism that doesn't stand up to a moment's scrutiny I will draw attention to it and question it. Drawing attention to it, and even asking about it, is not being divisive, is not "hating" on Sanders, it is me doing my duty as a democrat.

We're all in this to rid this country of conservative policy that has wrecked states and is, right now, wrecking our government. That is the only objective I care about.
