re: #223 HappyWarrior

That you have to ask is why it’s a problem. I think he is a Dem as of now but I had heard rumblings that he was thinking about going back to being an Indy. If he is doing that, then I honestly could care less about what he says about what direction our party should take. And honestly I am tired of his excuses for racism being voted as “people frustrated.” He did it after Brexit and he did it the day after Trump won here. Being in lily white Vermont has isolated him I’d argue much more than the Dem Party elites he and his base crap on.

If he stays with the Democrats, I can respect him somewhat. If he bolts, fuck him with a republican spear.

He is a classic example of the proverbial “if all you have is a hammer” as he talks about economics. What he says is true & even important BUT IT”S NOT THE ONLY FUCKING THING. And that’s what he’s never understood.

I am a member of the DSA. I am harder left in my economics than 99% of the people here on LGF. Bernie is often too conservative. BUT…

I like him as a person. I agree with him quite often. I voted for him in the Wisconsin primary even though I’d already begun working for Hillary. But in the end? I’ve said this over and over - white college kids & old white idiot hippies will not win the presidency.

I don’t give a fuck about purity. I want progress, even if a millimeter at a time. Keep moving forward so my great grand children have the life I wanted for my son.
