Now most of them do. Bernie doesn't care who might have suggested it in the past he is trying to make it happen. Sure Carter Put solar panels on Roof of WH and congress began giving tax credits for home owners and contractors who did the same, Bernie is just trying to make it happen again nation wide. What I don't understand is why are you so nit-picky instead of rooting him on..."his support and working with them"? who exactly. I applaud your activism and encourage you to "Support and work" with progressives to make it happen whether it's with Bernie or others. Or as Bernie says "Despair is not an option". Also compare what you say you are hearing and seeing in your 'activism' with the fact that Bernie set a record from small donations when he announced well above all other candidates plus national polling puts him in the lead above all other candidates. I know it's way early yet but surely this should tell you what you are hearing is not what the nation is telling us. Perk up, dems will win.
