It’s been nice to see Sen. Sanders on TV talking about issues
that Democrats should focus on in order to win this November – Universal
Healthcare, raising the minimum wage, forgiving student debt, and making our public
colleges and universities free. And I
agree with him that Americans care more about these things than the latest Trump
scandal du jour.
But, I can’t help thinking
that if Sanders really cares about Democrats winning, then he should change
party affiliation and become one!
Wouldn’t that simple act of good faith go a long way toward unifying the
progressive and centrist factions within our party?
After all, he’s already sought the Democratic
Presidential nomination once (and may again), so if he really wants Dems to
follow him, then he needs to get in there and lead the way by fighting from
within the party, not without.
