Bernie Sanders
In reply to the discussion: This message was self-deleted by its author [View all]I've lurked here for many years but only recently joined. I've been a dem all my life.
After seeing the lies circulated about Sanders civil rights background ("photo-gate", "I-never-saw-him-gate" and seeing the ugly echo chamber on other supposedly liberal websites, I knew we were in trouble. Someone somewhere made progressives the enemy of the dem party instead of recognizing that centrist policies didnt go far enough as to be effective (especially with a GOP congress). It might've been adequate in 2008 after 8 years of GWB but 2016 is a different game altogether. Hillary was made to look like Obama's heir apparent, no questions asked.
HRC may very well poach many voters from the GOP which could offset any BoBs but only time will tell. This election has me very disheartened.
