Just Think About How Different The Complexion Of The 2016 Election Would Have Been If....

[global1]

the Democratic Party would have put as much effort around Bernie Sanders from the start instead of Hillary. With the enthusiasm of The People that Bernie has without their backing - just think what it would be like and how the voter turnout would be different now.

1. The Democratic Establishment will give their owners exacly what they want

An election between 2 dishonest and corrupted politicians. Reinforcing what most people I try to talk politics with tell me:

"They're all the same. All politicians are corrupt. I don't wast my time with politics."

2. Or even if the Democratic Party leadership had remained neutral as it should have.

It would be Bernie, hands down. The first reasonable honest candidate for President since Kennedy.

4. Unfortunately Bernie isn't the DP and neither are we.

It's become obvious the leadership has no interest in promoting the things Bernie talks about-the DP today is Wall Street driven. We differ from the Republicans on social issues-that's all we get. Progressive's have been marginalized and a concerted effort has been made by the DP to create a division between Progressives and POC-their strategy has worked to perfection. Instead of hearing about income inequality, corrupt trade deals or union busting we get "Bernie Bros". I feel badly for Hillary-she's about to inherit a job where she can't blame the Republicans (Obama has been President the last eight years) and her personal/charismatic skills are near zero. She will need a big distraction (another terrorist attack or war?) to keep the people from revolting.

5. You are so right about the split - that is so sad to experience.

6. At least it has been laid bare that the Democratic Party is a DINO
