Democratic is the best that can be done in our system.

And now that I think of it, it's another example of his tone-deafness in this area. I hate to say it, but it's currently true. Really hope that changes.

I am NOT dissing Bernie. I'm inclined to the same type of tone-deafness, but I like to think I try to listen.
