In reply to the discussion: THANK YOU BERNIE SANDERS for speaking the blatant truth when so many won't [View all]Hekate
(90,690 posts)...last year for some reason we had a coterie of DUers whinging daily that "no Democrats" were challenging Trump's lies and deeds. I started a long thread naming names and encouraged others to add to it -- basically, the entire Democratic caucus knows Trump for what he is and says so, even if not every one of them grabs a mic and gets in front of a camera daily.
So posting an OP with Caps Lock and Extra Exclamation Points saying how refreshing it is that Bernie is speaking out when no one else will is kind of a head-scratcher.
As a couple of posters have mentioned already in this thread: your OP and its implications are nothing new here. We don't "hate" your hero, Bernie Sanders (I) of Vermont, but it is very telling that he has spent his entire political career finding fault with the Democratic Party specifically and the GOP only incidentally. It's his schtick, like the finger wagging and yelling. He's not always wrong -- but by no means is he always right, either, and being scolded all the time gets tedious. It is not "hatred" or "bashing" to say so at Democratic Underground.
