In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders: 'The Current Model of the Democratic Party Obviously Is Not Working' [View all]WhiteTara
(29,736 posts)42. And we consider him to be a Democratic supporter?
When is he considered unhelpful? We're trying to save the ACA and he is nattering on about a plan that can not happen unless Democrats retake Congress with a veto proof majority. Bernie's push seems to be a real distraction to that cause.
My question. When do facts trump cult personality on a democratic board?
