People on these message boards often talk about how the US two party system is flawed and we should have a multi-party system like they have in many European nations. Well, you know how those multi-party systems get things done? They form coalitions. They work together, often with people they disagree with. But how are we going to form coalitions here when we can't even work with people in our own party?
So yes, I know Bernie has supported AOC and a few others, but if he wants to get anything done, he's going to have to work with people he might find a little distasteful. I know that for some of us, compromise is a dirty word. But compromise is how you get things done. Those who demand all or nothing, usually get nothing.
