    That’s what the party did with the public option and increasing the minimum wage.

    So because you didn’t get everything you want you are just gonna stamp your feet, take you ball and go home?

      That’s EXACTLY what they do. Every four years. The Bernie bros did the same thing in 2016, and again in 2020. And these clowns think they’re pulling some new grassroots movement. They have no idea that they’re already considered to be non voters.

      They’re doing nothing. And by that I mean, they’re doing a LOT more nothing than even they think they are. Their little “protest” is completely meaningless.

      Unless their intent is to get trump elected, and for some- this is the case.

        A greater percentage of Sanders supporters voted for Clinton than Clinton supporters voted for Obama. Clinton supporters formed a PAC to get McCain elected.

        They’re doing nothing. And by that I mean, they’re doing a LOT more nothing than even they think they are. Their little “protest” is completely meaningless.

        Since they can be safely ignored, why aren’t you ignoring them?

        Why do centrists pretend that those to their left are all the way to their right?

      Where do centrists keep getting this?

      People to your left are allowed to be dissatisfied even when you get everything you want.
