It's not about Bernie. It's about the way he wants to change the party.

18. I think you are wrong.

Sanders is 100% committed to social issues.

Sanders thinks we should move away from neoliberal economic solutions and neoconservative foreign policy "solutions".

Some here at DU and much of the leadership of the current Democratic party say the term neoliberal is meaningless but this is untrue but inconvenient for many politicians. It is also inconvenient that some of the leadership of the Democratic party are just fine with neoconservative foreign policy.

I have been a member of the Democratic party ever since I could first vote in 1971 and do not intend to leave.

I am a minority opinion within the party but want the change well stated by Sanders.

That does not mean I am a Bernie or bust or misogynist or racist or Trump supporter or Putin lover or a Russian troll.

It means that IMO the Democratic party needs to change to gain more political control and get the results so desperately needed by so many.

There are very many Democrats that share my opinion so perhaps some would quit setting up straw men so we can move forward.

What I see is that old guard Democratic leadership is reluctant to change for whatever reason but probably money and control.

We need new Democratic party leadership. We need to be attractive to Independents. We need to be a good ally and friend of other nations.

To trade off social progress be it for woman or any other identity group for economic "justice" or any political reason is abhorrent and not economic justice at all.
