294. Defending Bernie, doesn't mean ignoring others...just the opposite...

Wed Jun 14, 2017, 11:52 AM

Jun 2017

This battle about Bernie is absurd, and as I said in my original post, it is the symbol of why the Democratic Party has mostly been left in the dust lately.

My "whole brand" (I don't have a brand, BTW...do you?) is not about attacking the Democratic Party as being weak and corrupt. As I said before, I am a registered democrat myself, and I know it means I am on the good side.
What you defend in your post is the same thing that Bernie defends...
He is not perfect, but he is an honest man, I have heard him for years on the Thom Hartmann show, and I always respected his integrity and willingness to work for the average person.
I feel the same about the politicians you name, at least the ones I know...
I voted for HRC, but my problem with her is that she is, and has always been, a hawk. She supported Trump's missile attack on Syria and was one of the first senators to claim September 11th 2001 was an "act of war".

I don't use stupid reductive labels.
I am glad HRC has an entire page dedicated to climate change. It is true that I have never heard her say anything about it during the campaign.

The point of my post was: why can't we all work together, as Bernie did before the Convention by endorsing HRC and helping shape the platform? Why is there such animosity toward Bernie?
