12. Bernie is correct but

At this point, he and Elizabeth Warren's job is to act like a "responsible" left Tea Party. We will still have to run as left-center (Hillary Clinton) and then incrementally rule left. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Liberals are irresponsible, get mad at tiny things, are impatient, and are unreliable voters who do not vote in mid-terms. The GOPers and Tea Partiers are reliable, they vote in all elections, and they will vote and put aside differences. We can keep avoiding this fact and we will keep losing..

If our voters are reliable, then Democrats will not act GOP-lite. I know it goes both ways but why don't we liberals insist and vote every time.
