122. I think focusing on the "brand" is simplistic and dismissive.

Many Democrats who did not support Bernie as a candidate, still have similar ideals about economic and social equity. I thought Bernie would have been a disaster as president and had no chance to win. But I did think he made some good points regarding the entrenched leadership that in my view, kept reaching across the aisle and kept getting a knife in their back in return. There has to be a substantive change in how we function as a party to move forward. I hope DT was the breaking point. Or we can expect a lot more noise not just from "Bernie", but from core Democrats tired of seeing our agenda watered down. No one should be told to just sit down, and shut up. That isn't going to fly. I don't think Biden will take that attitude because he respects people, but others here on this board seem to think they have a mandate to say just that. It's divisive.
