Lamont’s convinced me to delete the previous diary in the name of not being an asshole, so I guess I’m going to. I have no quarrel with anybody who posted in it, it’s all cool.
Instead I’m gonna shoot my mouth off here:
I knew when I voted for Sanders his chances were virtually zero. I was rewarding one of the fucking heroes who voted against the Patriot Act, and also sending a message to the party about what I wanted to see in the future.
The argument today is whether the party listens to the message Sanders voters sent, or ignores them and continues business as usual. (Yes, I’m going out on a limb speaking for all Sanders voters, but I’m gonna guess that roughly zero of them were voting for business as usual.)
That’s what this is all about. That’s why I care. I don’t want the party to go right back to the same cycle of failing, losing, and blaming voters. I want change.
Have a good night y’all. It’s all good.
