2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Tonight's Forum: Bernie Cogent, Specific, Genial.. Hillary General Mostly Blathering Off The Cuff [View all]PatrickforO
(14,573 posts)53. So, what's your motive here?
Do you really like Clinton that much? Do you really think she's the person who can get the nation back on track?
Because I'm just not seeing it. Bernie Sanders is advocating things my family has talked about around the kitchen table for years. Of all the candidates, it is Sanders who most closely represents me and my family. In fact, I think Sanders actually cares about me and my family.
I don't think that of Clinton at all.
And how can you possibly be a progressive centrist? The Democratic party began losing when it abandoned the New Deal in favor of the Third Way. And now you, an avowed progressive centrist, are telling me how bad Sanders is?
I think not.
