* and that Democrats are corrupt. It's untrue and it's not helping. This type of talk only depresses turnout for Democrats and makes people believe that "Independent" or third-parties are the only hope for our country. The obvious outcome of this type of thinking and false narrative is that the liberal/progressive vote is SPLIT and this always benefits the GOP. Why would anyone do or say things that harm the Democratic party, that suppress the vote for Democrats, which in turn ends up helping the GOP? His message needs to be focused SOLELY and EXCLUSIVELY against the GOP and against Trump.
