A different point of view. [View all]

I posted the following in response to a couple of Bernie vs Hillary back and forths. I'm hoping lots of you will see this and recommend or reply to show ourselves that we're better than Republicans.

This yelling back and forth sounds like the Republicans. For my part I'm grateful for the Sanders campaign. First it honed Hillary's message, and, yes, pulled it farther left. That's a good thing. Then it gave the Democrats some attention in spite of the Republican debacle. Where would we be if she was basically unopposed? We're a stronger party. I look forward to a rousing presence by Bernie and his supporters at the convention, continuing to make his case for a strong stand against the widening income gap. Hopefully where we demonstrate what it can be like when people in the same party disagree but come together to keep Trump out of the White House.

P.S. This post was locked in General Discussion, the reason being it should be posted here. A few weeks ago I had the reverse happen to me. It seemed that both had the same mix of mentioning the two Democrats, trump, and the convention. I hope the admin here doesn't lock it.
