Scolding a Democrat for standing up for Democratic principles, isn't the way to go.
I'm tired of people suggesting that I'm supposed to suck it up and climb on board when a Democratic politician is a neocon, a corporatist and a magnet for corporate funds from global greedmongers who love to buy them some politicians. We're supposed to shake our pom poms when a fellow Dem participates in the corporate-pay-to-play game that is destroying our democracy.
And if we don't enthusiastically support Dems who do this, we are shamed and relegated to the kid's table because we're just too stupid to sit with the adults who go along with whatever heinous actions a politician does--simply because they gave a "D" after their name.
I've been a Democrat for a few decades, and I could never have envisioned what some of my fellow Democrats are willing to accept. Bernie is a true Democrat. He's another FDR. And I fear for this country if he is not elected the next President.
