In reply to the discussion: Supporting the values of the Sanders movement is not "refighting the primaries". [View all]Fantastic Anarchist
(7,309 posts)I also believe the latter explanation.
The hypothetical was if it was me, and it wouldn't be because I can't take the heat. It would be because I wouldn't want to try and work with people who acted the way the DNC did.
Also, the hypothetical would have to assume I'm not an anarchist. Since labels would be relevant to my point, I identify specifically as an anarchist (identifying generally as a progressive) who decided to participate in voting for Kerry, Obama twice, and Clinton because I felt that the alternatives in each election (including midterms) were too appalling to do otherwise. So, I've voted for Democrats. Turns out some Congressional Democrats might as well be Republicans.
Obama, first, then Sanders really did inspire me and hoped they would make the Democrats take a more progressive track. Turns out they (Congressional Democrats) have drifted rightward. More's the pity.
