Ami Horowitz: Bernie Fans Love Republican Tax Plan

I think it is important for everyone here to see this video. We really need to avoid the cult of personality or we are no better than the right. Unfortunately over the years I have seen it here too. Whether it be Howard Dean, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and now Al Franken, too many here indulge in that way of thinking. We have to be better and smarter than that.



Edit: To many, not all, of those who responded, thank you so much for proving my point for me. Instead of considering the point I was making many took the attitude that no criticism can be allowed and went on the attack. Classic cult of personality tactics. So please continue to attack. That will just continue to attack and keep proving my point.

Does anyone know which Senator has the most anti-Trump voting record?

I'll give you three guesses.

Please stop with the cult of personality.

That's the way the right acts. Al Franken is not god and Kristen Gillibrand is not the devil. Franken was a great Senator and champion of progressive causes but he was not perfect. No one is. Nor is Gillibrand but she has stood up for women, children, and supported rape victims.

This is hardball politics people and sometimes you have to sacrifice one of your own. If we want to win elections we have to stop beating our chests about how the "party let us down". The GOP let's their voters down all the time, but those voters stay loyal and still vote. That's why they win elections while too many on the left are too busy sitting on their high horse.
