So some do not consider us real Democrats? Want us to leave the party?

38. It is ironic that a person posts this on a site dedicated only to Hillary and on which, I presume,

only Hillary supporters are allowed to post:

" All you have to do is see how upset they are that you're "permitted" (from their POV) to talk about Sanders on this site where they can't shut you up. Is there any doubt they'd be any different should he win the election? A party like that either becomes a dictatorship or it crumbles. And don't believe for a second the Sanders supports have any problem with dictatorships, especially when it means they'd get their way."

The Need For A Divorce

Talk about wanting a dictatorship?

Why go to a website that excludes those who disagree with you to characterize those who disagree with you as wanting a dictatorship?

I think it is ironic. To go to the place where the rules dictate that only my opinion can be heard in order to complain about another place where all Democratic points of view are welcome but where my ideas are not selling very well????????? That makes no sense.

DU is an open marketplace of ideas for Democrats, and would be more open if I had my way.

I just have not read a cogent, persuasive argument by any Hillary supporter as to why I should support Hillary rather than Bernie.

And no, I don't think there is a Bernie supporter who thinks that Bernie has a drop of the dictator in him.

Bernie was elected to the Senate by 71% of the vote in Vermont. That includes the votes of a lot of people who probably disagree with him on many issues.

I support Sanders because I think that he is likely to be the most inclusive in his government and best to work with Congress.

After all, he has served in and worked with Congress for some 20+ years.

I have been reading the book, 'Taking Charge" which consists of excerpts from the transcripts of telephone conversations of LBJ as he was assuming office after the assassination of Kennedy. His long history in Congress, his understanding of the deal-making, methods and personalities in Congress were great assets to him. He got up to speed very quickly when he entered the White House because he knew the members of Congress. Hillary knows the members of Congress as Democratic Party politicians, but having spent fewer years than Bernie in Congress, cannot possibly know the histories, the weaknesses, the strengths, the rallying points, the motivating issues of members of Congress as Bernie does.

I am voting for Bernie because I think he is the best candidate with the best ideas and the best understanding of Congress and the government.

I have yet to read a post by a Hillary supporter that explains why the poster is supporting Hillary other than that she can win. And that is merely an assumption. A lot of things can happen on the way to the forum, as a lot of Roman politicians, no doubt, learned way back when.

Anyway, the irony of the post in the OP on Hillary's website is apparent to me.

I think we should worry less about why other people are not going to vote for Bernie and more about how we can get more and more people to understand that voting for Bernie is the best thing for our country at this time.

Feel the Bern!
