Sanders Tells Progressives to Abandon the Democrats

[Nanjeanne]

274. I've watched 5 of the events so far that Bernie, AOC, and their guests have done. I've watched most from the

start, way before the headliners appeared I’ve heard from Dem organizers, Dem state reps, Dem voters, Dem union people, Dem teachers and more. I’ve seen state DNC party reps in attendance. I’ve been inspired by all of them.

I’ve not heard one speaker tell anyone to run as an Idependent against a Democrat. What I’ve heard is that people should support Dems who are fighters and not Dems who vote with Republicans. I’ve heard speakers say - I don’t care how you voted in the past or what your label has been - if you believe in healthcare as a human right, education as a human right, fighting for someone you don’t know, compassion and kindness, then you belong here in this party. The goal of all these rallies is expanding the voting base of the Democratic platform.

But it certainly is easier to knee jerk reaction to a click bait headline and a never ending bias against Sanders. It’s pretty obvious when you see how few actually rec this OP vs how many responses there are here.
