[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 38066, member: 35"] You're right, we can't allow Trump to do whatever he wants unchallenged. That's why we need Democrats like Bernie Sanders to hold him accountable when it comes to the good things he promised, while actively opposing policies that would hurt the people and the environment. When I criticize Democrats, it's not to draw attention away from Trump. It's because I personally believe corporate Democrats are hurting the party. Obama and Hillary supported TPP, while Trump put a stop to it. Thirteen Democrats voted against buying cheaper medications from Canada, while Ted Cruz voted for it. I want a Democratic Party that works for the people. I'm not saying Republicans are saints just because they occasionally support good policies. But Democrats should never be to the right of Republicans on any issue, and I believe that is what's hurting them. I'd say that's a slight misinterpretation, so I'll try to clarify my position. The reason I'm more angry at the DNC is because they were actively working to undermine the Sanders campaign. They scheduled few debates, and at times few people would watch to decrease his exposure. They talked about attacking his faith, they talked about pushing the narrative that the Sanders campaign "was a mess," and a Clinton lawyer was even giving the DNC strategy advice on how to deal with Sanders. You are correct in that the DNC is not responsible for how people voted. But the difference is they were blatantly stacking the deck against Sanders, while Russia only exposed their unethical and biased actions. The information was illegally obtained, of course, and I don't condone that. However, I do believe transparency into the DNC and RNC's activities should be mandatory to prevent them from propping up their preferred candidate. [/QUOTE]
