As a Sanders supporter, there is *one* thing I want to hear him say... [View all]
...when he is told "you can't make these things happen", "60 votes", etc.
And that is, "Do you think they won't also oppose the things Secretary Clinton says she wants to accomplish? And if so, which one of us do you trust to still TRY?"
I don't think that we Sanders supporters are impractical people. I think we are all fully aware that adoption of a full progressive agenda will be a fight every step of the way. A fight that would probably even outlast a couple of sitting Presidents. I also understand why Bernie can't allow a sound byte of him admitting he may not be able to accomplish all of this himself.
But what I know that he knows that I know is that Hillary won't even try. She won't even fight for any of these "values" she claims to hold. They'd be axed after her first tea with McConnell, if they were ever mentioned at all.
Who I trust to TRY. That is the basis of my support for Sanders.
Trust. I wish he would take her to task on it.
