(2,900 posts)even you don't claim that: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017315577
In this thread you claim quite the opposite. You do know how this internet thing works, right? Everything you write is saved forever.
And you and Sen. Sanders are destroying the party you left.
Now, check out my posting history, and you will see that, I used to be a whole lot nicer to the Sanders supporters and to Sanders. Since then I learned different things.
Sanders has always been an opponent of the Democratic Party in elections, and only affiliates in Congress for the privileges it gets his constituents and himself. Only last year did he for the first time in his life join the party, having been a member of various socialist parties until then. His supporters? More interested in tearing down the party we built than getting a Democrat elected. They are pretty clear that they won't vote for the party nominee unless it is Sanders. I'll vote for Sanders if he gets the nomination, but I've changed my mind about working for him and support. I couldn't work with the Berniebros, and I'll be holding my nose if the choice is between him and a Republican in November. Sanders is only slightly more palatable than Nader.
Sanders may think he is building the party, or moving the party, but many of his supporters are destroying it.
