201. Most of what Bernie Sanders raised during his 2016 primary is now the dem agenda

Fri Nov 9, 2018, 03:23 PM

Nov 2018

The man has done so much for the democratic party, has always caucused with them, votes with them, so why some here keep trying to run him down rather than show appreciation is puzzling. So unnecessary when we have so much to discuss and plan for since winning back the house. The issues are important but we keep hearing about personalities. Medicare for all or single payer-Sanders; Free higher education- Sanders; increased MW to a livable wage-Sanders: income inequality- Sanders...expanding SS benefits- Sanders; all democratic principles and part of our platform now but Sanders gave them all oxygen, got our leaders and the press focusing on them, while energizing the base. Are these Bernie put down threads helpful in the least or just plain divisive. I am a life long democrat who stands with Bernie on these issues and proud of him.
