(28 posts)Horrified at how people here attack Sanders. Isn't he the most popular politician for most liberals? This reminds me of all the people who hated Obama because he won the primary...imagine if he had lost...smh. Sanders is trying to push the party out of centrism and corporate money and back to the people where it started and belongs. His enemies are well funded and the last thing that needs to happen is people wasting energy going after him which seems to be full time here which frankly is shocking. Which came first Bernie supporters hating establishment democrats or establishment democrats hating Bernie supporters...who cares and lets fight the fight. Yeah Hillary lost and people can bang their heads and look to either blame themselves or someone else but one thing that is for sure is that Bernie didn't have anything to do with losses in the Senate and House of record breaking proportions over the last 8 year period. I blame gerrymandering for many House losses but you can't gerrymander the Senate and that was lost because those in charge of our party lost it for us. When that happens you get fired. It's crazy we aren't as motivated and extreme as the Right because everyone is afraid of them and no one is worried about us. My own personal view is that appealing to the center is a waste of time too because we aren't changing that many minds...getting better turnout is what wins and playing in the middle excites no one. I see some editorials here blaming the far left or Bernie and it's laughable as the people writing those could just as easily be blamed for being so tone deaf or hostile to lose votes.
