(2,807 posts)Look at all the kooks out there in Philly, for starters, giving the media whores something to babble about. Not helpful I'd say, far more than calling them whiners on the DU.
Bernie is not a "democratic socialist", there is no such thing here in the good ol' USA except in the minds of the bernies who are trying desperately to keep from getting compared to Venezuela, or some such cowardly shit where they cannot hold tight to their convictions to socialism. And just claiming to be a Democrat does not mean that you automatically get the respect from the rank and file that have dedicated their lives to the cause. He is an interloper, at best. If he wanted to be a Democrat he could have been one all along, a liberal one. But he chose not to. That is, until he ran fro President and started demanding equal treatment. Pshaw.
