(1,665 posts)Why does he say "we" when he's not actually a part?
He uses the pronoun "we" quite a bit in that excerpt. Except he's talking about a group of which he's chosen not to be a part?
Sure the blurb sounds worse if he, more accurately, said "they" when referring to the DNC, of which he has chosen not to be a part, but at least that would be true? I's not a "we" if you're not part of the group, right?
Like this:
"Joe Biden is a friend of mine and I have a lot of respect for Tom Perez. In terms of the next chair of the DNC, however, the question is simple: Do they stay with a failed status-quo approach or do they go forward with a fundamental restructuring of the Democratic Party?" Sanders said in a statement. I say they go forward and create a grassroots party which speaks for working people and is prepared to stand up to the top 1 percent. Thats why they have to support Keith Ellison."
(Bold parts were the changes from the original.)
You go Bernie. Mansplain this whole party election to us.
