Sorry, Bernie but the Democrats know whose side they are on and whose side they have always been on

241. "He wasn't willing to 'compromise' on a women's right to their own body."

Sen Sanders has set himself up as the national face of progressivism, openly stating that his “movement” is the future of a party to which he does not belong, and withholding his endorsement from Democratic candidates he believes are not adequately progressive. Yet Sanders has, multiple times, endorsed anti-choice candidates because they otherwise support his purported agenda of "economic justice" - and THIS is what is now part of his "actual record":

Heath Mello
Marcy Kaptur
Tom Perriello

If Sen Sanders believed that reproductive rights were a core progressive value, he would speak as passionately about them as he does about reforming Wall Street. He would make the connection between reproductive rights and women’s economic security and include it in his larger message about economic justice.

But just as he steadfastly refuses to join the party he used for his presidential campaign, he steadfastly continues to deprioritize and minimize the defense and protection of the sacred civil, human and Constitutional rights of HALF OF AMERICA, callously characterizing the essential full humanity of HALF OF AMERICA as "identity politics" and "wedge issues".

As a former admirer and supporter of Sen Sanders, I am getting weary of a avowed non-Democrat, who now appears to spend almost all of his airtime scolding the party he refuses to join, trying to muscle his way into an unearned and unwarranted leadership position in the party he refuses to join and does not belong to.
