Bernie Sanders

I had noticed that there are two groups here, that used to be very busy harassing posters that didn't agree with them and those seem to have hardly any posts in them these days. I figured they had formed a message board somewhere else. I thought maybe Facebook, but I was wrong and this must be it. I do believe DU has been far more pleasant since the departure of said denizens of those groups. The alert gang bangs seem to have quieted down as well, at least from what I have noticed. BTW what I think really means nothing so take it with a grain of salt. I'm just ruminating. However, it won't be long before they start fighting among themselves not having Bernistas to fight with and they will start trickling back so enjoy the peace while you can.

As to the nonsense that Sanders supporters need to have a separate party, I would like to remind everyone that Sanders is the spokesperson for what the Democratic Party used to stand for and frankly Hillary Clinton would have been more comfortable in Eisenhower's administration as a Republican. I'm 75 years old and I remember how the parties were and what they stood for in the fifties and sixties before the Republicans were invaded by global industrialists, who are trying to rule the world by taking over the governments of the nations. Ours is harder to take over because we still have the remnants of a democracy to fight them.

However, many citizens have forgotten that they are Americans first and that is where their loyalty should lie, not with just the party of their choice and the nonsense dog whistles politicians can be guilty of when trying to gain power. When the leaders of the parties start to ignore the Constitution like the Republicans have been doing, we have a problem. When the Democrats start doing it, they are no longer real Democrats and then we have a problem we may not be able to correct and hello totalitarianism. We aren't there yet, but the Third Way Democrats aren't being helpful with their divide and conquer tactics. Then you end up with a modern Julius Caesar and you may not get or want what you wished for.
