9. You are quite right--we Democrats are already progressive

As you make clear, Bernie Sanders is not the first to notice a declining Middle Class, rising top executive pay, rising tuition costs, a need for universal healthcare, better wages, etc.
Where Bernie is good and useful is by repeatedly discussing these issues in short form, as he does, helping indies and young people understand progressive goals. His solutions, however, don't wash. Still, if he could temper his criticisms of others who ARE NOT part of the problem, his message would be helpful. Because of his self-serving rhetoric, due to his campaign, Democrats are now finding themselves demonized by someone within the party banner, and that is a low blow--not constructive.
I appreciate your good points.
