In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders didn't win any larger argument [View all]Gothmog
(159,364 posts)There are a good number of hard core Democrats who are not happy with sanders attacking the party and attacking the presumptive nominee. I was a delegate to the National Convention and I was very upset with sanders delegates engaging in planned stunts of booing John Lewis, Elijah Cummings, Stacy Abrams and others. sanders was asked to stop these stunts and refused. sanders also did not condemn the booing of Hillary Clinton by one of his surrogates and other stunts.
Be glad that Georgia has moved its primary. The Texas delegation shares a bus to the main convention sites with the Georgia delegation there were members of the Georgia delegation who were very mad at sanders for not stopping the booing of John Lewis and Stacy Abrams. If there is a primary in Georgia, you will see this stunt be brought up by real Georgia Democrats who are still mad at sanders.
The messenger affects the message. sanders message is not helping his cause by staying in and by having his surrogates make bogus attacks on Joe Biden. Sirota and Grey and ex-Intercept people and the latest attack on Biden is pissing off a ton of hard core Democrats. BTW. sanders hiring and not firing of Sirota and stein supporters also affects the effectiveness of his attempt to win support for his message. sanders has shown bad judgment in hiring and not firing Sirota. Have two Jill Stein supporters at the top of his campaign are also signs of bad judgement. This poor judgement was been noticed by real democrats.
sanders has passed no significant legislation due to the fact that he is not liked and does not try to work with members of the Democratic party. For example it was Senator Bennett who got improvements in the CARE act on uemployment and sanders is taking credit for the hard work of Senator Bennett

I really doubt that sanders has helped his message in the real world at all.
Again in the real world, sanders is not winning and his message is largely being ignored by the bulk of the party.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
