Bernie has nothing to gain from telling Dems and their supporters to go to hell.

164. So you'd like him to praise the Democrats, tell them everything is peachy keen

No work to do. They are perfect as they are. Happy with moral victories instead of actual ones.

This may sound a trivial comparison but as the old adage goes, only your friend would let you know you have spinach in your teeth. The Republicans won't say a word. They are happy with the Democratic leadership spinning their wheels, trying to be a Republican alternative, a corporate conservative who can schmooze with the .1% just as well, but then losing when they go up against a real Republican. Then doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

We need bold brave new policies like the $15 an hour wage proposal, which probably would not have happened if it weren't for Bernie, and Warren and others showing that progressive policies actually can be proposed and you won't be laughed at. We need to separate ourselves from the Republicans with vastly different proposals meant to help working Americans.
