(1,668 posts)It's pretty obvious what establishment democrats prefer: keep that money flowing, but let's not do too well or we may actually have to deliver on some of our promises.

(37,364 posts)field office to talk to us about his candidacy for a state legislature office. He's a Bernie supporter, but she sent him to us and asked us to sign his petition so he could get on the ballot. HILLARY supported him by sending him and we listened and signed his petition to get on the ballot. Keep laughing, because you have no idea what the definition of having coattails is. Where was Bernie for this young man. I look forward to helping him get into office in the fall because our district needs good representation and I think he will provide it.

Bernie Sanders Ready and Waiting to Raise Cash for Democrats!: http://www.thomhartmann.com/bigpicture/bernie-sanders-ready-and-waiting-raise-cash-democrats
Thom Hartmann shares about his conversation with a senior officer in the Sanders campaign, who says they are ready to raise money for other Democrats, but are waiting on the DNC to get back to them with a proposal.
It would be nice if you told the truth about Bernie once in a while. Making up your info is not the truth. The fault is at DWS's feet.

Hillary gets her $2,700 BEFORE a dime goes to the DNC BTW. Why Bernie will raise $ for candidates that endorsed Hillary shows he is the CHAMPION!
Somebody please post the jury results!

(12,804 posts)That is where we are now after Obama embraced Clintonistas to help run his Admin and helped lose the 2010 mid-terms. The Democratic Party is in the minority in Congress and in most state legislatures and governor's mansions today.
Cllintonism = the Democratic Party being turned into the Rockefeller Republican party

(4,528 posts)and everything to do with poor party organization. The party did a piss poor job of getting out the vote in 2010 and the republicans gerrrymandered the congress like crazy.
Larkspur
(12,804 posts)Rahm is an infamous Clintonista and strongly pro-corporate Democrat and a notorious basher of the Democratic base. Along with him, Obama primarily stocked his Admin in the first term with Clintonistas and that led to policy decisions that depressed the Democratic base's turnout in 2010. That is what Clintonism does -- support Wall Street policies that depress the Democratic base.
Obama was chasing that Clinton unicorn, independent moderate voters and it cost the Democratic Party the majority in Congress and in a majority of state legislatures. Obama learned that if he wanted a second term, he had to reject at least some parts of Clintonism, but while Obama won re-election, he, like Bill Clinton, never won Congress back.

And much like the Clinton Foundation taking money/bribes for political favor, its impossible to prove.
Some things are just blatantly obvious.

(1,364 posts)low and behold, right in front of me was another vehicle with a Bernie bumper sticker. I have one as well. The only bumper stickers I have seen have been for Bernie. Here, in rural Upstate. I note that the Clinton campaign SAYS that they are raising money for down-ticket, but show the public. If indeed that is happening, then that would be a good thing to do. Words are just words. Bernie has NO super-pacs funded by millionaires and billionaires. Just, we the people. Over 3 million of us. Us'ns. Hoi Polloi.

(35,619 posts)Someone can donate $30,000 to it. The first $2,700 goes to the Hillary Clinton campaign. The rest goes to the DNC and state parties.
Hillary Clinton is apparently proud of raising money for the Democratic Party this way. However, I'm concerned about these big donations having a corrupting influence.

tarheelsunc
(2,117 posts)I am glad Hillary pointed this out. Sanders said on numerous occasions he would not attack or go negative and yet his campaign his been doing so with regularity recently. Yet supposedly Sanders is the most consistent, unwavering politician in the history of ever?
For the record: If Sanders wants to go negative, I don't blame him - it's part of politics. But when you claim over and over you refuse to go negative and then you do, it hurts your authenticity.

(4,387 posts)This is something I've been trying to figure out for awhile. So many people have a different idea of what is negative (ranging from statements of facts to outright distortion) that it gets difficult to have a conversation about it.
