In reply to the discussion: Bernie: Dems lost because they "took they bait," meaning "Wall Street money." [View all]radical noodle
(8,000 posts)Bernie has a set of beliefs that he adheres to no matter what the subject or problem. Everything in the primary that came up could be cured with his little "to do" list. Economic equality cured racism and everything else. Now all the reasons we lost are because of Wall Street Money. Apparently, he's ignoring all the other things that were going on.
I still like some of the points he makes. We do need to be everywhere in the country, and economic equality is important but it's not everything and never will be. Someone asked him if he would run for president again and if so, as a Democrat or Independent. He said he had more important things to think about, so still no indication at all he's really interested in the Democratic Party as much as he's using the Party for his own purposes.
I'm trying really hard to get past all this and concentrate on the real enemy of the moment... Trump and his gang of unpatriots.
