This is where berniebots cry about how awful it it that Democrats only want Democrats to represent Democratic Party in the fall election.The new DNC rules state that a candidate must "be a bona fide Democrat whose record of public service, accomplishment, public writings, and/or public statements affirmatively demonstrates that the candidate is faithful to the interests, welfare, and success of the Democratic Party of the United States who subscribes to the substance, intent, and principles of the Charter and the Bylaws of the Democratic Party of the United States, and who will participate in the Convention in good faith."
And candidates must affirm in writing to the DNC chairman that they "are a Democrat... are a member of the Democratic Party; will accept the Democratic nomination; and will run and serve as a member of the Democratic Party."
Every elected leader of the so-called Progressive left have run as Democrats, were elected by Democrats and work with other elected Democrats to fulfill promises they made to their supporters. They couldn't get anything done otherwise because they are so few. The Progressive Left IS a wing of the Democratic Party. Sanders couldn't do his job without help from the Democratic Party. Yet the bernie bros have bought into somebody's propaganda that Democrats are the reason Republicans are fucking this country over.
I should be surprised but I'm not. Something is wrong with berniebros. @ttystikk @schuylaar @Padawanbater2
