(236 posts)I posted this in the democratic primary group under the title "how may of you have voted in the last 40 years?"
"The pivot is a given if you want to get elected. I was farther left in my youth than you are now, but the election cycle has made me a pragmatist.
Extreme leftist politicians do not get elected in the general election. If Bernie's plan was to be a revolutionary he would not have a chance.
I have lived through Reagan and three terms of Bushes. The Clintons were a bright spot. Hillary caused waves she was so far left, and she has learned to moderate her rhetoric. And she is a member of one of the most discriminated groups of this country. She understands what equality is.
Bernie is an idiot. Whenever he talks about equality, he never lists gender equality. Why is that?
If you cannot support the democratic nominee, why are you on this site? Why not start your own site? Nothing is stopping you. It would just be DS instead of DU. "
It got juried out. Mostly a Sanders crowd. Makes it really hard to make peace as everything in this is true. Many politicians are politically ignorant.
