then Dems should stop saying that the only way to win is to adopt GOP policies and Dem Presidents should stop tanking the party's strength and incinerating their goodwill by passing laws using the GOP
then they should stop walking pack progressive actions, counterbalancing them with a new war, or redefining crap as shinola
give examples
so are we: stop treating us like veal, or literally calling us veal
we don't like the smears against Sanders either
we're also sick of Sanders supporters being accused of driving people away from the party: 20 years of futzing around and putting money first did that
only the polls and gerrymandering say that
ever heard of machine politics?
so are we
examples!
99% of the country does share the same interests: in fact it's closer to 99.99%, since the 1% would rather have a country that worked instead of money being sent from investors' numbered accounts to Senators' numbered accounts
no! not the corporations! Tom Perkins was right and the new Kristallnacht is upon us!
examples
stop backstabbing us, then
the same fantasy that these politicians sell their campaigns on?
examples II electric boogaloo
essentialism's a problem but not within the party
we need a populist candidate or the Dems will just keep losing all three branches and blaming everyone but their perfect strategists for it
let us have fair primaries and people won't want to go third-party so much

this is why nobody believes you when you say you're the party's biggest Sanders supporter
