Is DU out of step with the Democratic Party?

94. Hell no

DU has strong opinions, and apparently is full of retirement age or near retirement age folks, but most of our front runners are that age. Sanders is 78.

The Democratic Party is what it is, which is even how Bernie Sanders has been able to get this far. He uses the Democratic Party infrastructure to run for President.

Bernie Sanders campaign has a fabulous ground game...using the Democratic Party...his Latino outreach is very effective and while I will never, ever be impressed with Bernie Sanders, I am extremely impressed with his campaign outreach.

Last time all I heard about was “economic justice”. Pissed me off no end.

I now go on any youth driven social media, and you will find younger folks pulling out historical injustices with zero expectations that social justice is a thing that will be “fixed” by more dollars, but understand more economically fair dollars will help in the fight. I’m finding people of all races, supporting Bernie in a way I’m not seeing in other candidates, indigenous, Latino, Hispanic, Black, younger women not afraid of calling themselves feminists. Young People who were all in for Hillary Clinton last election behind Bernie Sanders this one.


So the DU bickering is common. It’s not a sign of being out of touch. Also, ahem.. DU does have a search function, but there’s no going back, we can only go forward.

Bernie Sanders will shortly know if he has it in the bag, it’s by no means a surety yet, but it looks very good for him. Yes, I will be disappointed, but I will support the nominee, because one of the many things Bernie Sanders won’t do, is offer another conservative creep to the Supreme Court.
