(1,964 posts)But your post is a perfect example of why the Democratic Party is floundering...
I am a registered Democrat myself, and I am worried that my party (aside from Bernie and the Progressive Caucus in the House) watches the rise of fascism with a "business as usual" attitude, and doesn't stand with working people who are being ripped off by the Trump Mob Family...
Bernie was talking about how hard it was to get the platform you described accepted at the Democratic National Convention in 2016...as for environmental causes, I don't remember HRC ever saying anything about the environment...and Obama was at some point ready to sell us out with a "Grand Bargain"...
Fighting Bernie is the exact opposite way to go to gain support from progressive voters, who are the majority in urban settings. The party needs to embrace him, and open a productive dialog, instead of constantly trashing him as you do Niki. I for one, believe that had he won the primary, he would have won the Presidency.
