There is no excuse for the efforts of the National Democratic Committee to undermine the 2016 presidential campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders. However, this does not mean that the DNC was wrong to be wary of Sanders’ sincerity when he claimed to be a democrat.
The fact that Sanders has just announced that he will present himself to the re -election in 2018 as an independent underlines this point.
“I am independent and I have always run in Vermont as an independence, while I was caucus with the Democrats in the American Senate. This is what I have been doing for a long time and that is what I will continue to do,” Sanders told a journalist for Fox News on Sunday, during a trip to New Hampshire.
On the other hand, Sanders confirmed to a journalist In November 2015, he would appear as a democrat in future elections, after the subject’s subject.
“In the next elections, potential future elections, will you also present as a democrat?” The journalist asked Sanders as he campaigned in New Hampshire.
“Yes,” replied Sanders.
Keep in mind: one of the controversial emails from the DNC published by Wikileaks showed that former president Debbie Debbie Wasserman-Schultz complained that Sanders “was never a member of the Democratic Party and does not understand what we are doing”.
I want to repeat: there is nothing, absolutely nothing, which justifies the DNC by giving an advantage to one candidate on another. There is, on the other hand, a sufficient justification for the members of the Democratic Party establishment to consider Sanders with contempt for not being one of their own while trying to lead their party.
The reality is that Sanders had not been a registered democrat until he decided to come to the presidency. Although he was caused with the party as a member of the American Senate, he has long been proud to be independent.
It’s not just good and good but necessary. As I have already written, America must create viable alternatives to the two main parts. The problem is that when Sanders said he had gone to a democrat before asking for the party’s presidential appointment, people were worried about doing so only to improve his chances of winning the presidency. Although only Sanders knows with certainty if this is the case, it seems much more likely that it has revealed through its subsequent actions than his assurances to stick to the Democratic Party were not true.
There are millions of Americans who, unlike Sanders, TO DO identify as democrats. They do not consider the label as a shame badge but a real reflection of their political values. When Sanders enters and leaves the Democratic Party for his own convenience, he implicitly insults all these Democratic voters – and raises questions about other experiences that Sanders would be willing to resort to achieve his political objectives.
It is not because the DNC was wrong to fake primaries against Sanders who does not mean today so as not to act in good faith towards the Democratic Party.
