(10,749 posts)Its up to the DNC whether they allow Bernie to run as a dem. What really matters is that every one of the also rans must throw their full support behind the candidate. No whining, no sulking.

(42,862 posts)There have been a lot of false accusations and demeaning things said about Democrats that give us a glimpse of what's really going on.
In response to all of those negative things being said, I am compelled to respond: It's simply NOT TRUE that Democrats are "ideologically bankrupt". It's NOT TRUE that Democrats are "feeble". It's NOT TRUE that Democrats are "corrupt". It's NOT TRUE that the Democratic party is "the party of the one-percent". It's NOT TRUE that there's "no difference between Democrats and Republicans." It's NOT TRUE that Democrats are "do-nothings". It's NOT TRUE that the Democratic party "doesn't care about climate change." It's NOT TRUE that the Democrats "focus too much" on diversity. It's also NOT TRUE that people who the refuse to vote for an African-American because of his skin color "aren't racists". It's also NOT TRUE that the Democrats who "are very big into diversity" aren't "particularly sympathetic" to the working class.
It serves no good purpose for anyone to say things like that. It certainly doesn't benefit the Democrats or Democratic candidates.
All I'm saying is that these types of divisive smears and attacks only serve to make us weak. They're divisive and they provoke anger and suspicion. A weakened Democratic party only benefits the GOP (and, Russia, of course.)
