Bernie Sanders Press ReleaseOn issue after issue, Sanders challenged the Democratic Party to pick sides. You cant be for Wall Street and the working people of this country. You cannot be for the drug companies and senior citizens and veterans, he said. You cannot be on the side of workers and support those corporations that have thrown millions on the street.
The failure of Democratic leadership to send a clear message on where the party stands is why Republicans have grabbed control Congress and Statehouses. The problem in my view is not that the Republicans are winning elections. Its that Democrats are losing elections, he said.
Sanders also faulted Democrats for not pushing election reforms that would increase voter turnout and help Democrats win elections. For example, he said, Democrats should get behind legislation he introduced in the Senate to register everyone to vote when they turn 18 years old. The Democratic Party has got to be very clear. We need automatic voter registration. In 2015, Oregon became the first state in the nation to require state agencies to automatically register voters when they get a new drivers license or identification card.
Still attacking the Democratic Party.

(1,359 posts)It was one thing to criticize Clinton when he was running for the nomination, but that's over now. Why turn his attacks on his own party? WTF?

I do think Bernie and his supporters have given us an incentive to turnout and make sure he is not this disastrous independent DINO nominee of our party!

25 years in Congress, and NOW is the time. Not in the 90s when all the legislation he says is the problem was being debated and passed.
