When FDR is considered a non-Democrat, then Bernie is no longer to be considered one either. The current Democratic party abandoned its Progressive roots while Bernie remained true to the ideology. The current party is scrambling to save their Republican-lite corporate owned status quo and cushy jobs and perks. Screw 'em all. Bernie has always caucused with the Dem party and if it were not for him, no one would have been talking about Medicare for all or 15.00 minimum wage. Bernie is the ONLY true Democrat left. Thank goodness this new crop of Progressive Dems is infiltrating the party and following Bernie's lead.
BLUEXITA Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red
Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.
It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.
This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

You’re making my ‘lame argument’ for me.
Whatever influence the Russians had on the election—it was lost in the noise. It’s impossible to quantify. As much as Mullet would have liked to, he didn’t even try. It’s a fool’s errand.
So, the left is basically *guessing/wishing* that Putin won the election for Trump. It’s utter nonsense.

Hello Darth,
Yes, actually it is. But not enough for someone who refuses to believe anything that goes against DT.
It is most certainly evidence. What it is not is irrefutable evidence. His supporters can be predictably expected to refute that evidence as unconvincing.
And, you know those who believe one lie, will quickly find themselves adding lie on top of lie.
Then you have people claiming the polls are meaningless. Another little lie.
It's all very absurd, you know.
It's not impressive to watch.
I must say. It gives the rest of us pause to see that.
There is a lot of head shaking going on. Rolling of the eyes. Painful compassionate looks exchanged. What has been done is not good for America.
America is hated and laughed at. We are doing nothing as the world burns and threatens our future. Good people are fired and/or investigated. The crooks are set free. The world seems upside down to we, the good people, who are alarmed and astonished at the brazen attacks on basic sensibilities. And the hatred. Where does the hatred come from? We want a peaceful, productive, safe, free world where everyone flourishes. We want to be civil. We want to be civilized. We want everyone to share in the beauty of this vision. We want everyone to have a reason to be happy. We have not given up on that and gotten selfish like the right.
We have to get rid of this nemesis. We will calmly explain why your support for him is wrong, and why it is imperative that you rethink your philosophy and perception of things.

Trump is the first in history to be elected based on Russian propaganda.
He won because the Russians used a misinformation campaign to exploit the stupidity of conservatives and install the candidate that would be the most beneficial to them and detrimental to America.
And that is exactly what they got.
Well, my perception is that I’m in a quandary lol.
If I am to believe the Russians are responsible for Trump’s election—how do I know I’m not believing a lie, since there’s no hard evidence for the claim?
What you have is what’s called a ‘supposition’. You *suppose* since the Russians meddled in favor of Trump [supposing the evidence for that is irrefutable—note how the suppositions are compounding] then—it follows—that if it weren’t the Russians, Hillary would be president.
I’ll take that claim with a hefty grain of salt.

Hello Darth,
It's only 'lost in the noise' because you want it to be. That's one little lie. And that sets the stage for the next level. Then it's not too much of a stretch to go from there to: "It’s utter nonsense. " And there you have little white lie on top of little white lie. Neither of those things are facts. They are what you choose to believe. Progressives do not choose to go there. Our sensibilities prevent that.
Jimmy Carter is right. DT got helped by the Russians, the polls where right, it threw the election in favor of DT. He is an illegitimate president. He doesn't belong. The polls did not lie. There was nothing wrong with the polls. The whole 'The polls were wrong' thing is just another white lie that his supporters have to tell themselves.
The rest of us are not buying it.
This presidency is all built on lies.

It’s lost in the noise because *it is* lol.
You don’t even have an appeal to authority on this. Mullet reported that no votes were changed and the election result wasn’t changed by Russian influence.
Which is only logical, because there are myriad factors which can influence an election outcome.

Hello Cinnabar,
Nobody young who is supporter cares about the label.
Older people who have been told their whole lives that socialism is horrible and you lose your freedom and get told what to do like communism, those people are afraid of Bernie because they believe all those old myths about socialism. And Bernie has been very clear to distinguish himself from the old myth by calling his platform one of 'Democratic Socialism.' I totally agree with it. He is on the right track. It all makes sense to me.
But it doesn't make sense to the mushy middle. They are afraid of the S-word. Bernie's opponents are not going to give him the respect of granting him his own version of it. They have to turn it into a straw man they can more easily tear to pieces. They are going to drop the 'Democratic' part and just call him a socialist. 'A self-avowed socialist,' (as if he is insane to admit it.) Fear is a great motivator. In their view, you are asking them to elect Karl Marx.
Bernie's challenge is to motivate enough young people to overcome the hateful fearful older ones. That's a pretty big challenge, too. Nobody has ever gotten elected president by motivating the young to come out in sufficient enough numbers to overwhelm the old. Old people are more motivated to vote. They are wiser. They have had a whole lifetime to learn and observe. They see the bigger picture. They are familiar with lots of things the young have not seen. They are far more reliable voters. Bernie has a big uphill battle ahead of him. And he can pretty much count on not getting any super delegates. He will have to win the primaries by a huge margin, enough so that no other candidate could be put over his count if they have all the super delegates. That's probably the only way Bernie is getting in.
