Those of us who fight for Bernie defend the true spirit of the Democratic Party.

Last edited Sun Mar 6, 2016, 11:22 PM - Edit history (1)

We are trying to make the Democratic Party matter.

We are trying to get the party to do what it is supposed to do and defend the people against the arrogance of the rich.

We are standing with the most powerless people in society, and trying to get the party to do the same.

That is ALL the Sanders campaign is about.

Not any belief that Bernie is a saint(I'm pretty sure athiests aren't allowed to be).

Not any belief in our own moral perfection(we are as fallible as anybody else, and fully aware of that).

Just the wish that this party will become the good and GREAT force for change that it could be.

Nothing we do harms the Democratic party.

And nothing would be better if Bernie hadn't run.
