In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders lays out bold 10-point plan for Democrats [View all]realmirage
(2,117 posts)is pushing the Party to be better. To some it comes off as insulting, but I dont take it that way. I always want my Party to be challenged to be its best. I think there are things the Dem Party is doing well and there are areas where it could do better.
2 years ago was different, and I dont like things that were said any more than you do. But I dont feel like we can afford to hang on to that. This next election is so important that unity and striving for our top goals is more important than how I feel about the past. I feel like its logical that he has the largest base of followers and so Im just anticipating him as the front runner and the eventual nominee and Im ok with that because the alternative is obliteration under drumpf.
If its some other nominee than Ill be behind them 100 percent as well. I just dont see anyone like Obama who could swoop in and take the nomination. But anything can happen. Im open to all options including Sanders. This is just the way it is. I know that everyone will support the nominee whoever it is, I just dont think it wise to put deep cracks in the nominees before the general election. Been there done that.
