A word from my son, a Sanders supporter. (also posted in GDP) [View all]
My son, a Bernie supporter, has a vision of a Sanders caucus in the Democratic side of congress, one he swears would not be obstructionist like the Tea Party*. I, a Hillary supporter who affirms the ideas that Bernie holds out as goals, allowed as how that would be great, but we're missing candidates to vote into congress. To date Bernie has found only 3 to support (well, anyway, to date a few days ago). I agree with the poster that to keep Bernie's ideas alive his supporters need to make sure we get a Democratic president, take back the senate, and lay groundwork to take back the house.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
* He swears they would not be obstructionist because of the kinds of people he's met at Sanders rallies. I told him about the kinds of people that make a yuge racket on DU. I believed Sanders when he said he didn't want the steriotypical Bernie Bro in his campaign. Let's hope my son's experience is closer to the truth than mine.
