Bernie supporters-to those who say we can't win

David vitter lost to dem John Bel Edwards tonight.Let me remind you for much of the year many assumed vitter would win.even
after edwards strength In jungle primary many thought republicans pouring In money and trying to tie edwards to Obama thought
vitter would preveil.he didn't.

Edwards is more a social consersevite than many here.he is pro-life and anti-gun control and came out against more syrian refuges but on other issues he is a dem.I really think while i am pro-choice that economic issues need to start being out top concern when
supporting dems.Trade and social safety net are among my top issues.big reasons why i support bernie.

Deep red state LA chooce a dem over the Jindel/Vitter path.

Polls had race tightening out yet edwards won big over vitter.

The point is don't listen to those who say we are fighting lost cause.

Nutcase Republican tossed to the curb in LA. Things have changed!

Time to get rid of the neoliberal neocons who call themselves Democrats.
