2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I'm curious: What is your end game with Bernie? [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)Liberals who conform adequately to the picture you draw, and radicals who do not and have tended to be very hostile and liable to burst into verbal flames every time they were displeased by the way something has gone. They are very different, with minor overlap sometimes perhaps. Which are you?
Are you one of those who would rather fail completely to improve healthcare in America than compromise by working to improve the ACA for now?
Have you seen every debate where Bernie's performance was adequate but not revolution-inspiring proof of DNC conspiracy to make him fail?
Do you believe every primary he did not win had to be due at least in part o tampering?
Do you believe every political article that does not flatter Bernie is proof of it's auhor's corruption?
Are compromise and cooperation dirty words? Do you accept or deny that democracy requires both to function?
Are you seriously considering not voting at all or voting for the GOP ticket in fury over the way this election is going?
If you're saying yes to some of these extremist attitudes you are something of a radical.
If they don't fit you, you are not. And when we criticize the extreme behavior of people over on the fringes, you should not believe it is unjust or that we are talking about you. Imo, you also should not be empowering their shabby behavior with your support. Support Bernie, not the people who have dishonored his ideals.
