In reply to the discussion: Supporting the values of the Sanders movement is not "refighting the primaries". [View all]Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)It's about making the party a dissent-free zone.
Discussing where we should go as a party is about the future.
It's not as though if bar all debate, Hillary will get sworn in after all.
I'd LIKE it if she did...but that's not going to happen.
And Bernie's never going to run for president again either.
What I'm saying is, continued support for the ideas in his campaign does not equal disrespect to Hillary.
And it isn't an attack on the party OR on any constituencies within it.
I worked hard for Hillary all fall.
So did 80% or more of primary Sanders supporters.
If people didn't want Bernie as nominee, fine.
But why must his supporters and their ideas be anathemized from the party as well?
There can't be a progressive majority if all those people are told to go to hell.
