In reply to the discussion: Bernie is not even a Democrat, so why is he ripping our party apart? [View all]Weekend Warrior
(1,301 posts)I don't think any individual Democrat right now has the power or influence to rip our party apart.
I am no fan of a certain segment of Sanders supporters. I have issues with Sanders as well. He is still overall better than half of elected politicians. Worlds better.
What you are doing here is two-fold:
1) Elevating him to the point of being a deity. At one point that was only done by that certain segment of his supporters I mentioned above. It's become very clear that you think he holds unbelievable power over the Democratic Party. That is on you, a select few others, and unbelievable is the correct word. The position being held with the content of the op is not based in reality.
2) Painting the Democratic Party as weak, helpless, and rudderless. You couldn't be more wrong. They aren't a ship that will be taken down by a rogue jellyfish on the high seas.
Sanders has the mind-set of a revolutionary in a county not even close to a revolution. He will always be yelling at walls, working with and against Democrats, and trashing Republicans at every turn.
Sanders will not change, will we?
