    Who? Some guy I’ve never heard of wants the people I have heard of to leave “his” party. Does he know he wasn’t invited? What a weirdo. Sounds like a republicunt to me?! I think that’s the problem with the Democrats at the end of the day, they aren’t actually left leaning or democratic at all.

    I don’t want that in my party

    Define “that”

    What is it that you don’t want? A better world for everybody? A smaller wage gap? Affordable housing? People not having to live paycheck to paycheck?

    What exactly is the “that” that you’re referring to, here?
