The DNC and Democratic Leadership must go, this party is dead.

    Yes. On paper. Do you have any meaningful difference to define him any differently than someone like AoC or Illhan Omar? Besides just the label he has on his name on CSPAN?

    Not sure why what you said has anything to do with what I said.

      Believe it or not, political parties are not ordinarily supposed to refuse all negotiations with any other party, vote no on any measures they introduce, and call them all demons to their supporters. The independent/Democrat relation is just a rare American instance of that.

        So, again, what does this have to do with my initial comment about Bernie being in a unique position to be able to form a party and endorse candidates to run in that new party?

        You didn’t address anything I said and now you’re just going off on a tangent. Him being independent or Democrat is not really at all relevant to the comment you responded to.

        Do you think he doesn’t have that unique position? Is it because he’s independent? He ran in the Democratic primary and is a household name associated with them. I think his tours with AoC show how popular he is still. I think it was a failure to not disconnect from the Democratic party then. They have proven to be useless in fighting Trump.

        You can disagree if you want. But you haven’t said anything about the point of the comment you replied to.
