The Root: Pipe Down, Bernie Sanders

[randome]

61. Well, yeah, change is inevitable. And should be welcomed.

But because the Democratic Party is a big tent, it's extremely unlikely that it will do the bidding of a small faction, such as an anti-war faction. The one thing that the vast majority of Democrats believe in, I think, is that war sucks. That in itself is the polar opposite of Republicans, who think war is simply a means to an end.

That's the kind of positivism that should be trumpeted by anyone who is in favor of the Democratic Party, which Sanders apparently is, just not to the extent necessary to be involved in it.

It's human nature to look with disdain at an outsider who pretends to know what's best for you. That applies to individuals and small groups (like families) as it does to political parties. And that's why Sanders keeps getting push-back, imo.
