(9,314 posts)Nancy Pelosi recently remarked Democrats like things the way they are. It was a subtle message that the Sanders' approach was one the Democratic party would not be embracing.
Sanders points out the number of losses the Democratic Party has experienced over the last few elections. The consequence of those losses gave the Country a Republican Senate, Congress and the White House. What Sanders offers is constructive criticism on what is wrong and how it can be corrected. He believes if the changes he discusses are implemented, Democrats will start winning again and thus start regaining power in this Country.
How? By convincing voters the party is working in their best interests and it needs their support to turn this Country around. And he is experiencing a lot of success in some arenas. Even some Republicans are starting to listen more carefully to his message, and the 42 percent of Independents are paying attention as well.
