"I said it then, and I'll say it again. Sanders is trying to remake the party in its (sic) own image."

Every President does this. Voters elect the President whose 'image' they want the party to 'be in'.

Dems have been pushing people on the left out of the tent into the cold for so long that there are finally enough of us that we might just be bigger than the severely shrunken tent. And we're ready to try to take back our tent. And the fact that you guys on the right wing of the party pretend we're 'not Democrats' won't matter if we succeed. We're going to make the tent bigger again, and drag it back to the left with us.
