This is a truly horrific post.
1) Your first line says Bernie should do more to help people down ticket. Um, so what does that entail exactly? I'm all ears.
2) Your second line is just friggin' ridiculous because Clinton is faced with the exact same dilemma. I'm absolutely bewildered by people believing that her being President will somehow make Republicans suddenly reach across the aisle and pass left-leaning legislation. Have you been asleep these last seven years?
3) Clinton has been doing fundraising where the DNC pays her money and gives her a share for her Presidential run. It does not solely benefit members of her own party. And of course Sanders is supporting all sorts of Democrats in November and wants them to win. Give me evidence where he has said otherwise.
Clintonistas. Outnumbered on the internet and not in tune to the future of the party. I wish you all weren't so in love with big banking, fracking and racism (superpredators, 08 campaign, Goldwater girl) and could see the real problems in this society and just how we need to change them. I want to stop Trump so bad from winning in November and it's people like you that have left us with such a terrible Democratic candidate. You really don't care about winning or helping the party and just want to sabotage everything to elect somebody whose name you recognize despite her persistent shortcomings. At least we will all know who to blame when her scandals come back to bite her in the ass in November, harming the party down ticket and potentially costing the left the Presidency.
This is tiring.
It's like a false dichotomy. It's either black or white, all or nothing there is no grey, no middle ground, no compromise.
We get it, you only want a candidate who will pass EVERYTHING they have proposed or NOTHING at all. You're happy if Bernie is in White House and nothing passes because well at least he campaigned on the ideology you believe in. There can be no compromise on these values. He must get it all, or nothing is fine too.
I feel Obama has done the best anyone could ever do with the shit he had to deal with. Think of the progress we as a country have seen since he took office.
Agree with it or not but we missed a Great Recession/Depression era.
Our Foreign Policy, while not perfect, is no longer a joke.
And social issues have been a huge focus, and progress made there.
All under Obama, and myself, and others feel Clinton will continue this legacy. No it won't make us the socialized fantasy of what Bernie wants, but we are inching closer to it. Incremental changes, it's how our society was set up, and it's doing just that. Even with as fucked up as it is
And you should know very well how Bernie can help other Dems on the ticket for November....He can show up at their campaign events, he can ENDORSE, and he can raise money for them.
Something every other politician has done for their party since the beginning.
Without those Dems taking seats from GOP, his policies are dead, cause we all know he won't compromise at all with anyone.
