Video of Bernie Sanders praising the Democratic Party today

...at the DNC meeting.

Bernie Sanders: We must be like the Democratic Party of history. Which under FDR provided jobs and security. Which defeated fascism.

Which passed Medicare and Medicaid. Which passed civil rights laws. Which stood up to homophobia.

It's pretty amusing to be lectured on what it means to be a Democrat by someone who isn't one.

I think Trump did it this week while spewing his antisemitism but at least Sanders is referring to a real Democrat, so let's give him partial credit.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
