Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Monday said that if his supporters are able to push his progressive agenda at the Democratic National Convention in July, then the event could get “messy.”
“I think if they make the right choice and open the doors to working-class people and young people and create the kind of dynamism that the Democratic Party needs, it’s going to be messy,” he told the Associated Press. “Democracy is not always nice and quiet and gentle but that is where the Democratic Party should go.”
The Democratic presidential candidate indicated that there’s nothing wrong with a messy convention.
“Democracy is messy. Everyday my life is messy,” he said. “But if you want everything to be quiet and orderly and allow, you know, just things to proceed without vigorous debate, that is not what democracy is about.” For the full article click here
