I didn't enter the Bernie Sanders group to bash Sanders. I made an observation of things that are not helpful to Sanders or the the issues that must be discussed. That is my opinion. That's what discussion involves give and take.You disagree that is your prerogative. Using Teddy Roosevelt to promote Bernie Sanders is not a good thing and many leftists would agree. At this point in history... real people on the ground are suffering worse than they've ever been. Politics is not a game. Everything must be up for criticism whether it's something you post or I post or anyone posts. Teddy Roosevelt is not someone that the left should be holding up as a standard bearer of leftist causes.
