Why I Am Not Worried About the DNC.
Why I still feel the Bern.
Every time I check the news, I see the hand-wringing by the media and the Democratic Party.
“Oh, dear! Oh, my! How can we nominate a (gasp) Socialist?!”
I hear the arguments against Sanders’ nomination. A Socialist can’t win in this capitalist country. People will think that he is too radical to be a Democrat.
Former VP Biden spoke before the Nevada caucuses, stating that this election is “for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party.”
Well, guess what?
Most of us aren’t staying awake at night worrying about the health of the Democratic Party. We don’t see it as our responsibility to keep the DNC in power.
Instead, a lot of us lie awake at night worrying about the rising costs of our medication. We worry about our young adult kids, fearing that one of them will have an accident and need surgery that isn’t covered by insurance.
We worry that Boston is going to end up underwater. We’re afraid of hurricanes and tornadoes where they haven’t hit before.
We are concerned about coronavirus and we wonder if our insurance will cover all the charges if we catch it.
