Democratic Establishment's Contempt for Will Of The People Will Be the Party's Downfall



I need to point out, before you call for a hide: The Sane Progressive is saying that the Democratic Party would be wise NOT to drive out Bernie's progressive movement. I would like to stay in, and work within the party myself.

what he says has been given to him by the millions of opinions of supporters. For Hillary to attack certain things the way she has is attacking fellow voters. Each one she attacks she will be making sure they are one of millions who probably won't vote for her , some will some won't. Depends on if you really believe in your principles .

Now I have to wonder what happens next. I guess it depends on whether Bernie is elected or not.

She takes many themes and weaves them into a really informative video blog. The Democratic Leadership would be wise to pay attention.

Remember these are the same people who lost the house and the senate. And yet they talk about their realistic leadership skills. Why not go for the triple crown?

Divide and conquer. Most of the time, Americans squabble like three year olds who think that the other kid got a little more ice cream.

When a politician says "Look!!!! Them!!! Over there!!!!", it is generally best to closely watch the politicians.
