"The current model and strategy of the Sanders wing of the Democratic party is an absolute failure."

32. Bernie wins his elections

because Democrats have allowed it. They don't run strong candidates against him. They haven't minded him being in the Senate, because he caucuses with them.

Who says Bernie is a failure? I would say he is a rather mediocre Senator who has not had any legislation passed that he has sponsored and seen all the way through to becoming a law. As far as his influence on the platform, the ideas he promoted were there before he ever came along. Bernie supporters would have us believe he has done everything but invent the wheel.

If all he was doing was supporting single payer, free college and DACA, I would be fine with that. But he is supporting division at a time we need unity. He was given a chance to work on unity and he blew it. Dean worked to help the party when he dropped out of his primary. Bernie should be doing the same. Of course Dean is an actual Democrat.

If you have a right to criticize Hillary's record and actions, then we have a right to do the same to Bernie.
