In reply to the discussion: Sanders to Perez: 'The same-old, same-old is not working' [View all]Hekate
(90,548 posts)145. Blue Dog Dems represent the people who sent them to Congress, not Vermont....
That's how it works, Chasstev365. My Democratic Congressman represents my district. He doesn't represent Vermont. Our issues are really different from those of Vermont. My Congressman is not a Blue Dog, but he sure isn't an old white man from 3,000 miles away, either.
I know it's hard, but the Dem Party is a big tent, and each district is different. It would help if Bernie would behave like a friend who likes the rest of us and not like a cranky old neighbor who can't admit that anyone else can do anything competently.
