If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

Just a thought for today, or maybe a TBT.

It's so EASY to rant about what is wrong. We all agree it's wrong.
It's so EASY to rant about what should happen instead. We all agree that should happen instead.

We can disagree on how to reach a solution. We can debate which paths are more likely to succeed. Why would you NOT want to focus the debate on the best path toward progress?

When you get down to maligning a fellow fighter on YOUR side who's been working for the same goals, by demonizing them as part of the problem -- accusing them of being all about power, money, dishonesty, recklessness, greed, general evil without conscience and even murder -- then you aren't part of the solution anymore.

You've become part of the problem.

Bernie Sanders has become part of the problem.
