In reply to the discussion: Chris Cillizza: Bernie Sanders still doesnt know what the Democratic party stands for [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)His "Outreach" mission is obviously in conflict with his (seemingly) nonstop public trashing of Democrats and the Democratic party. He can't be effective in promoting a positive and optimistic image of the party if his true passion (or the thing he does most often) is to publicly trash us, or insinuate that the party is "corrupt".
I get that he's passion about his ideas and how he wants to "reform" the party in his image... but I think he's being a bit myopic in how he wants to go about doing that... and in the meantime, even as an admitted "outsider", he's struggling to achieve EITHER of his main objectives.
He's just got too much to do, and he's been over-tasked with jobs that are at-odds with each other. Maybe he thinks he's helping, but his heart isn't in it. As far as promoting the party and putting Democrats in a positive light, he's basically phoning-it-in.
I'm certain that there's someone else out there who'd be a better "ambassador" for the Democratic Party.

Hello, Alerter! These are my opinions about whether Bernie is the best person for the party's "Outreach" mission. My personal belief and opinion that Bernie isn't the best person for the job is not an attack or smear. My personal belief that our party needs someone who's dedicated exclusively to the "Outreach" mission... with fewer distractions and conflicts... is not against the rules.
