2. Bernie Sanders needs to hear more not sure about Warren

3. They'll vote for it, once they're sure we know they're against it

4. Yes. We need to know whether we need to throw them under the bus with all the others...

who disagree with any individual issue. That bus undercarriage is getting mightily crowded these days (from all evidence presented here on DU these days).


But DUers should understand one thing. There's one thing I will likely never do; that's throw the Democratic Party under the bus. That means supporting the party even when it supports a policiy I find repugnant. The reason is that I cannot support anything that the opposition party supports.

So you don't support today's Democratic Party? Fine. Then do something about it. Stand up for precinct delegate. Become part of the solution instead of carping from the sidelines. From precinct, you can go to district, then the state, then the national. At each level you can leverage your opinion to make a difference.

I've been there. That's how you change a party's direction, from the bottom up. Lord knows -- so to speak -- the Republicans know this well. How do you think that the Republicans morphed into the theocratic, authoritarian party that it is today? They did it one precinct at a time.

5. Bernie Sanders - Statement on Syria

Sanders Statement on Syria

August 31, 2013

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 – Sen. Bernie Sanders issued the following statement today after President Barack Obama announced that he will ask Congress to authorize military strikes against Syria:

“The use of chemical weapons by the Assad dictatorship is inhumane and a violation of international law. However, at this point in time, I need to hear more from the president as to why he believes it is in the best interests of the United States to intervene in Syria's bloody and complicated civil war. I look forward to the Senate debate that will be taking place in the very near future.”

6. I imagine at least those two will hear the facts before they decide.

7. Elizabeth Warren - Statements on Syria both before and after the August 21st gassing

Elizabeth Warren: Obama Request For Congressional Approval On Syria 'Appropriate'

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said "it's appropriate" for President Barack Obama to seek approval from Congress before taking military action in Syria.

"It's appropriate that he ask for that," Warren said at the annual Central Massachusetts AFL-CIO Labor Day breakfast, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.

"What the Assad regime did is reprehensible, but we have to consider what's in America's best interest," Warren said.

Elizabeth Warren - Statement on Syria BEFORE the August gassing deaths

July 08, 2012

WARREN: The ongoing killing of civilians in Syria is a terrible tragedy, and Assad has got to go. The unfolding question is how to accomplish those goals. The President is right to try to work with others in the region and in the international community to influence Syria. Because assistance can have complex and unintended consequences, we should not act unless we are confident that we can do more good than harm and that we have a clear plan and achievable goals.
