Hi Bernie supporters.

Personally, I thought is was erroneous for the Clinton campaign and their supporters to choose Roosevelt Island to launch their campaign and evoke Roosevelt as their values on the economic spectrum. Afterall, it is the centrist creation and promotion position of dismantling much of the New Deal ideals and regulations which promoted the middle class that has produced the decline of the left and also stopping middle class promotion of the Democratic Party since Reagan. When I posted that I was unconvinced of the promotion of a Clinton promotion of these New Deal ideals by their campaign, I wrote a post asking why, essentially, that idea is correct (that they carry that legacy). Well it didn't go over well and found myself arguing even with people with Bernie avatars. It is that I exit for few days as I get tired of being portrayed as a nut or ignorant person of some sort even though I have a BS in Economics and Government. That's ok, I'm a big boy but just need a break. I live in a crazy state that keeps me depressed and occasionally , I need to clear my head. See you in a few days and fight for Bernie because he is fighting for you.

slammed by Third Wayers because of his Social Programs which they believe should be privatized, so I know what you mean about this sudden, subtle embrace of FDR.

Don't argue with them, ignore them, there is so much great news coming on a daily basis re Bernie that all we have to do is keep posting it. Let the negative click bait stuff sink.

Sorry you have been made to feel bad, but the cure for that is to interact with the majority here, which is BERNIE SUPPORTERS!

the nature of the beast these days. I always appreciate your thoughtful posts. Even Bernie supporters need to examine their assumptions so they don't become total sycophants. I do understand, however, that we all need temporary breaks. be well.
