the filibuster against tRump's SCOTUS pick (Gorsuch), while Nancy Pelosi is keeping House Ds together to oppose the AHCA. That's what real leaders do because they happen to know that THEY are the ones who actually cast the votes, not the millions involved in any hoped-for revolution.

I noticed Sanders is joining Schumer's filibuster. No need to wait for a revolution when procedural rules are already in place to achieve a goal.

This stuff is really quite petty and divisive. Someone says good job Bernie and Bernie naysayers come out of the woodwork to beat him up. Why?

Is any one here actually AGAINST the social/economic/political goals and vision Bernie consistently and straight-forwardly describes? ... and promoted for 40 years?

Naysaying does nothing to actually "build" the party -- it doesn't build membership, visibility, capacity, capability or a stronger strategic focus. It just divides.

And there can be absolutely no criticisms of it. Some also resent him simply because he doesn't have a D next to his name. There are literally people here who would support joe manchin over Bernie for president simply because of the fucking D.

Fri Mar 24, 2017, 02:54 AM
Mar 2017

Seems pretty demoralizing. It is also dead wrong. It is the DEMOCRATIC PARTY that got the ACA passed in the first place and is waging a ferocious battle against Trump. There are many great Democrats leading the charge like Adam Schiff, who is leading the Intelligence Committee's Trump Russia ties investigation, or Al Franken who in a brilliant cross-examination on national TV revealed Gorsuch to be a heartless corporate stooge with poor judgment. Or Schumer who has vowed to filibuster Gorsuch. Or all the Democratic state attorneys general, who have blocked both of Trump's Muslim ban executive orders. Those Dems inspire me.

Those anti-Dem statements by Bernie tonight on Rachel were counterproductive to fighting the GOP's attempts to eviscerate the ACA, which is what Rachel was asking him about when he inexplicably said that.
