(17,505 posts)... The same old debunked song....with no hint of the real history.
Sanders may have been an Independent, but you pretend he was caucusing with the GOP and anti- anything-Dem... which is completely absurd. He supported the party when it acted progressively.... and even then some. (We've already seen what an Indie who leans way to the right looks like)
The "FAR Left" in FDR's time were mostly Communists, which Sander's isn't. He's really not that "far" left either. (Hey.... isn't he supposed to be a gun nut?) Also, that last FDR term was WWII.... which is most certainly not the USA's normal state affairs anyway. Also, Dems were sorta the conservative party then..... until Civil Rights....
And you'll have to point to where Sanders said he didn't want "ANY continuation of Obama's policies". Policies concerning what exactly? Or is it "any and all"?
"Obama and Biden may openly endorse Hillary" Yeah well.... I don't remember all these Dems using Obama to support their candidacies in the last elections. Do they think he's "usable" now?
These lame memes get trotted out again and again as if they actually mean anything. It's like ditto heads!
