Are we NOW allowed to say Bernie isn't a Dem, doesn't care about Dems and is only out for himself?


Democrats are desperately trying to stop the repeal of Obamacare, but Bernie is using the issue and the spotlight to push his own agenda, even though it undermines our efforts.

He is not a Democrat, he's not a team player, and we need to stop encouraging and enabling him.

And he needs to just be quiet.

7. He does not need to be the lead voice of the opposition to Trumpcare

This is a disaster in the making. I hope someone can talk him down.

9. If he does something that destructive

to the party, to the country, I will work until my dying breath to make sure he never gets a shot at representing our party. I'm furious at him for this and yes, he will be to blame for taking the spotlight OFF the republican bill.

it requires deep insight into the other players possible and probable actions.
Bernie makes no attempt to think about consequences of his actions.

196. We Critisized Obama For Not Taking The Extreme When He Was Pushing ACA....

and settling for less right from the start. Bernie is taking to the extreme here and I'm sure he'll take a compromise to fix ACA as that solves the immediate problem and also moves us closer to a Medicare For All system in the future.

Please get off of Bernie's back cause I know of no Dem out there that is doing more to discuss the real issues on a very simple - common sense basis than him.

Please read his new book "Bernie Sanders Guide To Political Revolution" and maybe you'll understand him better.

He's not making excuses for why he lost. He's actually discussing the issues and attempting to move the ball down the field. More so than many Dems that call themselves Dems.

We can wallow in the past - or we can set our sights on a better future. I'm with setting our sights on a better future.

34. Sanders is one of the most effective Senators we have fighting for us

one of his nicknames is the "amendment king" because he is constantly fighting to alter legislation to make it less shitty.

Read Matt Taibbi's profile of him sometime.

Continue, the Bernie Wars do...

Ain't that the truth.

A less-than-impressive intellect combined with a lack of impulse control isn't a good thing.

He never was a dimocrat, he is and was an independent. You let him run as one to make the primary look legit.
