Sanders Tells Progressives to Abandon the Democrats

Wait! LMFTFY: There are always people who will step up to defend the Democratic party, its members and its leadership whenever it is being smeared and denigrated.

It makes no difference WHO attack the party. It's important to recognize that there will always be individuals who stand ready to support and uphold the Democratic party, its members, and its leadership in the face of lies and negative portrayals. Regardless of the source of these challenges, loyal Democrats are committed to defending our values against unfounded allegations of corruption, weakness, collusion, and more.

These steadfast supporters consistently emphasize that the Democratic party thrives not through smears and external attacks but through internal growth and constructive change. By focusing on GROWING the party (rather than suppressing the vote or by splitting the vote) we will be able to defeat the GOP. By focusing on our strengths and addressing issues from within, we can fortify the party.

It's a mistake for anyone to claim or insinuate that "both parties are the same" or that "Democrats are corrupt" since this only suppresses the voter support and turnout for the Democrats, which only benefits the GOP. It's easy to be on the outside and to take a big steaming dump on the party with a litany of unfounded accusations and insinuations. Conversely, it's much harder to get one's hands dirty and make a commitment to doing the hard work within the party.
