He's fighting for us.	tecelote	Jan 2017	#1
Why does he disparage democrats if he is on our side?	bravenak	Jan 2017	#3
Mention Bernie on this site and watch out.	tecelote	Jan 2017	#4
So we cant complain about him but he can complain about us. Got it. He's more important	bravenak	Jan 2017	#11
Exactly.	LisaM	Jan 2017	#16

And sells them books too I bet	bravenak	Jan 2017	#243

Oh, you are not alone in this! I have noticed he seems very giddy lately.	R B Garr	Jan 2017	#278
Shut Up	tecelote	Jan 2017	#17
He should do so until he reflects on HIS OWN FAILURES with minority democrats	bravenak	Jan 2017	#24
Walk the Talk.	tecelote	Jan 2017	#32
That's what I'm telling him. Walk the walk. Can't learn from anybody if he's the one doing all	bravenak	Jan 2017	#34
Introspection is good for everyone to practice as often as possible.	tecelote	Jan 2017	#35
Speaking of "walk the walk", have we heard a single word in defense of Rep. John Lewis...	George II	Jan 2017	#66
Good question	Eliot Rosewater	Jan 2017	#76
I was also wondering about this	Gothmog	Jan 2017	#101
He has never once defended Civil Rights Legend John Lewis from attacks	bravenak	Jan 2017	#173
Color me surprised!!!	George II	Jan 2017	#175

Yeah, it was intense	mcar	Jan 2017	#229
Yes -- you obviously just chose not to see his statement. It was posted on this site	KPN	Jan 2017	#206
I "chose" not to see it? Before I said anything about it I checked his website. Not there (yet)	George II	Jan 2017	#212
He also denounced Trump's attack on Congressman Lewis in his appearance	KPN	Jan 2017	#216
I see it differently based on my 69 years' life experience.	George II	Jan 2017	#218
I'm sure you do. I haven't heard a single substantive argument against	KPN	Jan 2017	#219
Substantive is in the eye of the beholder. As for "woulda, coulda, shoulda", perhaps....	George II	Jan 2017	#226
Sanders campaign is premised on this revolution which did not occur	Gothmog	Jan 2017	#236
Do you have a link? I do not remember seeing Sanders on MTP	Gothmog	Jan 2017	#235
this is why I can't take you seriously.	Exilednight	Jan 2017	#199

Bingo.	sheshe2	Jan 2017	#178
Right. Sanders criticizes a democratic to make us stronger.	LanternWaste	Jan 2017	#223

This is the answer, too much hurt feelings and distrust left over from this election	Eliot Rosewater	Jan 2017	#81

So, you vote for shut up.	tecelote	Jan 2017	#19
So, you think it's cool to tell us 'identity folks' that we are the problem?	bravenak	Jan 2017	#30
What?	tecelote	Jan 2017	#33
Ok	bravenak	Jan 2017	#37
I don't agree 100% with everything anyone I support (as far as I can tell).	tecelote	Jan 2017	#40
Then why is he decrying identity politics and political correctness	bravenak	Jan 2017	#41
Yes. Yes. Yes.	tecelote	Jan 2017	#46
I only criticise him based on his views of issues important to me	bravenak	Jan 2017	#49
How do his views actually differ with your views of issues important to you?	KPN	Jan 2017	#215

Sanders ran in the Democratic primary for media coverage	Gothmog	Jan 2017	#94
He can fight for progressive goals without fighting the Dem party. Fight the effin repugs...	brush	Jan 2017	#153
Well said.	LisaM	Jan 2017	#21
He is not the hero who will sweep us up in his arms and carry us from danger.	randome	Jan 2017	#18
Badmouthing or criticism?	tecelote	Jan 2017	#22
Maybe Sanders should become a Democrat. That would be "walking the walk", IMO.	randome	Jan 2017	#25
Maybe because 40% of America is Independent?	tecelote	Jan 2017	#28
Maybe Democrats shouldn't be labeled as worse than Republicans	betsuni	Jan 2017	#42

I found all of those things right here, of course.	betsuni	Jan 2017	#59
+1000!	mcar	Jan 2017	#118
Sanders likes that label 'Democrat' when it benefits him, doesn't he?	randome	Jan 2017	#44
What if being anti-war is very important to you?	tecelote	Jan 2017	#51
How could there be a choice? Democrat, of course.	randome	Jan 2017	#54
You answered your own question.	tecelote	Jan 2017	#57
Well, yeah, change is inevitable. And should be welcomed.	randome	Jan 2017	#61
Well said. I don't disagree other than the anti-war bit but I'll leave that alone.	tecelote	Jan 2017	#65
