We are the party that has stood by while 29 million are not insured, while 62 people own the Same wealth as 3.4 billion, while millions lost their jobs homes and retirement. While the planet has warmed to the extent we may not be able to avoid catastrophic consequences because of fucking greed. We are NOTHING to brag about. People are dying right now because of this policy, I'm not going to pretend that's okay any more.

and obstructed legislation to change them for years.

Specifically, the first 8 words

Do you actually understand how congress works? You can't change things unless you have the votes.

There is no wand waving or edits from a king.

The Republicans (and many DLC Democrats) pushed through changes that caused these problems.

Then the Republicans obstructed attempts to return back to a functional regulatory state.

That's what I said so we agree.

The regulatory state was not broken by Republicans. It was hard work by both parties that did it.

No. We're in the Obama admin where obstruction by repugs has blocked any attempts to change things.

Especially when one of the main forces behind breaking the regulatory state is now seeking office.

Conversation not going the way you wanted, huh?

Something disappeared all right.

The key word being "functional" — functionally regulating the banks, corporations, et al is a good thing.

The work of DLC Democrats to dismantle the regulatory state is still screwing us over today. Which is why it remains relevant.

We're in 2016. Come forward and deal with today's reality.

and it is the baby of both parties.

I know, I know, Americans have a hard time with really long term thinking...

Amazing how so many continue to ignore just how badly damaged we are by focusing instead on the high school antics of wanting to be on the winning team regardless of what is done to ensure that win...

May the best Woman or Man earn the title to ensure we all win not a select few....

People are tired of phony progressive centrists. I have no more patience with the DLC. Every year I am getting older and we are stuck in the same despicable status quo. Enough is enough

And the wealthy corporatist 'job creators' say cut SS, lower taxes on corporations, stop environmental restrictions amd pollution laws. Let us outsource to cheaper wage countries. Let us bring in H1b workers who will work for a fraction of what the American workforce makes, and after the American trains them, let us fire the American worker.

There is no way I can vote to continue the DLC/ThirdWay destruction of the working class in America.

Because by the measure of actual turnout in elections, Clinton is doing that much better than Sanders.

Or if you wish to measure by polling supporters, there's this annoying fact:

Clinton's supporters lead Sanders' 54% to 44% in enthusiasm

The facts make your argument hard to sustain.

Because frankly, Bernie has thousands of adoring supporters, enthusiastically supporting him at every rally. Hillary - not so much......

they keep changing and it all depends on the questions asked. Just get over it.

The reason caucuses are so over the top for Bernie is these are the enthusiastic voters. Primaries are literally a whole bunch a pretty uninformed voters voting name recognition. No I can't prove it. Some people would call it common sense. And I've got a lot of that.

Caucuses = enthusiasm

Hillary offers me nothing.

I don't care about social issues.

We got bigger fresh to fry.

She's hard right on War and Fiscal (trickle down)
She will sign the TPP - as is, at least the important stuff

These are the biggest issues - for all working class and most middle class

There are serious problems with Hillary as the nominee, and there are serious issues not being dealt with in this country, that only a Bernie as president will be able to deal with.

Hillary supporters need to stop basically saying "let them eat cake."

For her when she will lose

sure have a hard head. Your "my way or I won't play" attitude sounds just like a tea bagger with different goals.
I wish some of you could grow up.

... it's the only thing.

I keep hearing people talking bullshit about how they're tired of voting against something and want to vote for something.

If you have a hard time convincing yourself to vote against the toxicity and treachery coming out of the right this election cycle, you need to check your motivations.
