Isn't it interesting and, somewhat, amazing ....

that those that got played by non-Democratic forces into believing that Bernie had a legitimate shot at the Democratic nomination (after about April 19th), are now being played in the General Election by non-Democratic/non-democratic forces?

to him for that.

You don't like what they do? How do you like how they were and are treated?

You don't like what they stand for? What about the policies and politics they are fighting for do not represent the very best of Democratic policies over the years? That's all they are asking for.

Have you been so browbeaten by lackluster ideas and corrupt policies in the Democratic Party for so long that you can't at least empathize?

Fooey!

No ... I don't.

How were they treated?

I like a lot of what they stand for, though I have said ... a lot ... their vision is incomplete and does not address what much of the Democratic base holds as most important.

Have you been so browbeaten by lackluster ideas and corrupt policies in the Democratic Party for so long that you can't at least empathize?


No ... I have not been brow beaten by lackluster ideas and corrupt policies in the Democratic Party; but, I do understand the political realities for accomplishing political objectives, as I have worked for and lived the work.

So, no ... I cannot empathize.
