Bernie Sanders: 'Democratic brand is pretty bad'
KION ^ | 6/23/17

Posted on 06/23/2017 4:32:17 AM PDT by markomalley

Sen. Bernie Sanders said Thursday he agreed with Democratic congressman Tim Ryan's claim that the Democratic brand is worse than President Donald Trump's in some parts of the country.

"I speak as the longest serving independent in American congressional history, the Democratic brand is pretty bad," Sanders told CNN's Anderson Cooper on "AC360."

(snip)

Democrats need to "make it clear to working people of this country that the Democratic Party is on their side," Sanders exclaimed. "The Democrats need a progressive agenda. They need to rebuild the party in states they have ignored for decades, where they have almost no presence right now and create a 50-state party."

The Democratic Party needs to go deeper down the rabbit hole of identity politics. It's the only solution, Bernie.

Many current (Sanders, Pelosi, Feinstein, Schumer, Ryan, McCain) and former (Obama, Clinton, Kasich) members of The Gang of 535, aka CONgre$$, should be in federal prison. Their assets should be confiscated.

Look at this! Sanders speaks out of both sides of his mouth! After what the DNC and Debbie Wasserman Schultz did in the primary against him, he doesn’t even have the gumption to support DWS’s opponent in the upcoming primary.

Even though he backed Tim Canova in the last primary against DWS, he now claims he doesn’t know of him:

>>Idiots! Try creating wealth instead of just spreading it.

Their ideal is that the wealth should be spread across all the people and then the people will use that, along with their entrepreneurial spirit, to put it to work to get an education, invest, and create new things and that will generate new wealth. They’ll have time to self-actualize and be even more productive. The productivity from cooperation will far exceed the productivity from competition!

Unfortunately, humans (on the average—there are exceptions) just don’t work like that. Give them what they need and they stop working. Give them what they want and they become baby chicks in a nest sitting there with their mouths open waiting for food to drop in.

That’s when the second half of the socialist process kicks in: the government boot in the ass, the labor camps, the work farms, the Soviet Tractor Factory, the bans on “counter-revolutionary thoughts”, and the defining down of “needs”.

In short, they are either lying or they are incredibly and dangerously stupid.

The Democrats need a progressive agenda...

What?! We've been getting the lite version so far? That's the ticket, Bernie. Go for the "progressive agenda." It's a sure fire way back.

If only the Pubs would quit signing onto the Dem agenda, now.

...or they could be both at the same time with a touch of psychosis that makes them impossibly and irremediably sick, capable of the most extreme atrocities.

IMHO

That was my thought. Bernie, an Indep. is bad mouthing the Dem machine. Although being brutally honest, when does the machine try to silence this critic and does that cause his defection and then he creates the People’s Party (well named) as his legacy to his “revolution.” His legacy took a hit at the DNC conv. when he endorsed HRC in exchange for a nice house. Then Dems become Whiggs.

>Idiots! Try creating wealth instead of just spreading it.

?? I fail to recall a time when GOVT created anything that *wasn’t* a hindrance (if not outright suppression) to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, let alone ‘wealth’.

To point, govt, and especially BIG govt, have created and supported monopolies (IMO, the only way a monopoly CAN exist is w/ govt support): telecomm, media, Rx, RxR, unions, etc.

Course, it was many a moon, before I was even conceived, since we’ve been a Republic, let alone a Constitutional one at that.

“the Democratic Party is on their side,”

There is no such thing as “the Democratic Party”. It’s the Democrat Party! And nothing Democratic about it.

Agreed. But growth policies are better than the Bernie/Warren “You Didn't Build That” policy.
