In reply to the discussion: Dkos: No, Senator Sanders; YOU are out of touch (opinion piece) [View all]angrychair
(9,736 posts)While I have and will continue to stand on Democratic Party planks and principles, as I do believe you do too, we are not going to move past this election continuing to beat this drum.
I was completely in the Bernie camp during the primary, though I didn't agree with everything he said or did. In the General, I was completely in the Clinton camp, even though I didn't agree with everything she said or did.
Even Obama, who I truly believe will go down in history in the top 5 presidents in our history (in an order to one's personal perspective, for me he is 4th greatest), I did not agree with everything he said or did.
While I think their ideas and opinions are important, I don't see Sanders or Biden or Warren or Clinton being the face of the Democratic Party going forward. I strongly feel than none of them are the best candidate for president in 2020. No, I don't have an opinion of who would be a good candidate right now. We may not have even heard their name yet.
That being said, all political parties go through good and bad spots. We need everyone that is willing to take a stand against fascism and religious zealots and corporate domination of our resources and government. Regardless of the letter after their name.
