In reply to the discussion: The hypocrisy of the latest round of Bernie-bashing [View all]Ladygrey
(8 posts)I have been reading DU for years before joining last week, but this ongoing argument has been totally cray. Personally, I have been on Team Bernie since day one. But I get that for some there will never be anyone but Hillary. I just don't get all the teeth-gnashing & breast beating over who's the best, Mom or Dad. Can't we just praise & take joy in our favorite without feeling the need to trash the non-favorite? And, as far as I know, there has never been any kind of test to prove you are a 'true' Democrat. There's no rigid dogma. Do you agree with most of positions held by various Democrats you know personally or hear on TV or social media? Then you probably are a Democrat. I have pretty much considered myself a Democrat for more than 4 decades, but I only very recently actually joined. I would like to think I joined a big family that might have an occasional squabble, not one of those dysfunctional families where whisper campaigns & back stabbing are the norm.
