Bernie Sanders

for our friends here.
They can't find much to go after Bernie, that isn't related to gender or popularity. So now they're having to invent scandals (which I like to think my schoolage kids would be sophisticated enough to see through)?
So unfortunate that the irony is no doubt lost.

(4,775 posts)In order to do battle with Republicans, using the same corporate-funded campaign model as the Republicans (adopted for Democrats by the third way/DLC/new dem types), they can no longer stand on the issues, as their donors won't allow them to work for the issues the people need.
So they've spent the last 30 years engaged in a blood match with Republicans for electoral victories, fighting on Republican terms, taking positions slightly better than Republicans but from the exact same intellectual premises the Republicans start with, rather than fighting honestly for a Democratic agenda that has nothing to do with the bogus world-view that comes out of entities like Heritage, AEI, PPI, or even Brookings for the most part.
Sometimes they win elections, sometimes they lose, and either way, we lose, with probably 90% of the population rightly recognizing that both sides are entirely corrupt and that their arguments are disingenuous manipulative political games rather than policies designed to make anyone's lives better.
The massive disaffection is our opportunity. This is not the time to compromise, it's the time to double down on grass-roots truth-telling and oganizing for real change.

(85,373 posts)Cha the Moderator (an oxymoronic use of that word if ever there was one) was evidently so incensed that my post in the Hillary group wasn't hidden after she or her puppet alerted that she banned me outright. Keeping it classy!
I think the BEST part of Bernie winning the nomination will be the immediate disappearance of the junior high school Ugly team. Wouldn't be surprised if they all left the website, if not the party.
