Since Donald Trump’s election, his opposition party hasn’t acted much like one. The same cannot be said of Bernie Sanders, who hit the road this weekend in red states in an effort to stoke pushback to Trump’s slash-and-burn plutocratic governance.

“Trumpism is not going to be defeated by inside-the-Beltway politicians,” he said.

    We don’t have a leftist party to be affiliated with, so by your logic, leftists don’t exist.

      How is that by my logic? That doesn’t even make any sense. I said nothing at all about leftists not existing, or being affiliated with any party.

      Seriously… can any of you hold a concert with anyone without creating straw men?

      My point was that you all seem to hate democrats so much, but yet- claim any democrat that you happen to agree with. AOC is a democrat and not a leftist, regardless of whether or not you affiliate with any party.

        Your logic is “AOC can’t be left because she’s in a center-right party”, correct? If so, what party would somebody on the left affiliate with in order to be considered ‘leftist’ by you?

          Did you all just abandon your 3rd party nobodies? What happened to De La Cruz? Shill Stein? That’s ALL we heard from you prior to the election…

          What happened? Did you realize they were spoilers lie we tried to tell you? You all flip-flop so much it’s impossible to keep up with the rhetoric.

          Now… I’ve got shit to do, so go ahead and get your last word in. I’m sure it’ll be profound.
