In reply to the discussion: It would be nice if the centrists in this party did some introspection, too. [View all]Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)I have ever met. Don't assume that we all share the exact same flaws and limitations you saw in the candidate.
(I take your point as regards white people in general, and am always willing to work on it regarding myself).
How do we get from confrontation and call-outs to dialog on this? How do we get to drafting a common program?
Bernie's not going to run again...he'll be 79 in 2020.
If someone runs representing the values his candidacy represents, it's likely that that person, if she, he or they want to be president, will have learned from 2016 and be ready to present a message that doesn't read as exclusive in the way his message read.
My interest is in trying to get past the perception of "HRC people" or "Bernie people"-to get from that to the trust that needs to be built to unite us working for social AND economic justice(each of which is a program that involves a great deal of what the other program is about). This is not tied to any candidate or (for 2018)any candidates.
Are you open to considering trusting in that, at least at some later point?
