They all, however, are dependent on the votes of People of Color. If they ignore that, they deserve to be called out for it. Past history is meaningless during primary and general election time. Now is when they need to be paying attention to what people are asking for. Now is the time when they need to make themselves clear.

It pisses me off when Democratic candidates make bonehead mistakes of privilege that could cost them the election. They should be smarter than that.

of campaigns from the past. Its pretty relevant given the times then and now. Having lived through & voting in most of these campaigns its an interesting look back.

My Parents and Grandparents were very liberal and politically involved.
They are all gone now and I know that if they were here, they would say Bernie Sanders is closest to their ideals and ethics.
I think they might even say if he can get the support of the people to turn our government around, and working for all of it's people. He could be even more beloved than FDR. It's time to completely stop this downward spiral and bring status quo to an end. FDR did it. Yes Bernie is part of the Establishment, the part that is there to represent the people. Though he may be a loner in his righteous motives, he has never strayed from his core convictions. It's time to take a moment and realize how rare it is to have someone of his character willing to take on this challenge. I can't fathom why we might squander this opportunity.

support? Very questionable.

Very questionable indeed.

This is more a question of working out how to move together than reconciling opposing points of view.

he's been in DC since 1991.....

And he has used his position in the Establishment for doing things like bringing jet fighters into Vermont.

At what point does bringing that one mistake up cease to be friendly ribbing and bleeds into an attempt at bullying mockery?

Some one once asked me why I didn't delete that map graphic.

My response was "who the hell cares what a bunch of jerks on DU say about a mistake I made?"

It says more about you for bringing up that mistake I made (it was about 2:00 in the morning when I posted an irrelevant map along with transcript from airplane which WAS valid) than it does about me or anything else.

desperate attempts that prompted that map.
