(6,137 posts)you want MFA? dont scream about it, start with public option. PR 101. Gay marriage started with domestic partnerships and civil unions. Had our leaders advocated for same sex marriage a decade or two ago, other important lgbt bills would simply stall. Congress is about compromise. ACA was enormous step forward. Bernie would have achieved nothing if he was the president at the time demanding MFA and vetoing anything less than that. Britains election thought us something, you go with Bernie, not only we lose in general, we lose in all competitive national, state and local races. The public strongly rejects socialism - state means of production. I have not heard Bernie advocating for entrepreneurship and economic growth through private entities. I suspect he is a true socialist in his heart who calls himself democratic socialist to soften the term. Bernie is the only dem primary candidate who is dividing the party, he infected us with toxic populism of empty promises.
Remember this, Democratic Party is the party of capitalism, private enterprise, market economy, civil rights and social safety net.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
