1. They want a private club.

Fine, if that's what they want. They don't need our votes in the GE. They don't need our money. They don't need our votes in the 2018 mid-terms.

I predict there won't be much left of the Democratic Party at that point. Talk about a rapid implosion, even faster than the GOP is!

You want a tip on how to discover if someone is a narcissist? Look for a wake of destruction and 'dead' relationships in their wake.

They need constant ego reinforcement that they are fantastic and not worthless. They look to others to provide that while they simultaneously suck them dry as psychic vampires are want to do.

Eventually the persona management becomes too much with a group or relationship (cracks in the mask appear and can not be lied about any further) and they decompensate. That is usually quite destructive either physically, emotionally, or otherwise. Then they move on.

Hence leaving a wide swatch of destruction behind them when they do.

You can state you're an indie and stay, but not advocate for a third party or speak against Democratic candidates. Even that was more or less waived several years ago in the Florida US Senate race. Charlie Crist lost the GOP primary to Marco Rubio, and filed to run in the GE as an indie. Democrats ran a hopeless candidate who was nearly invisible, and lacked any reasonable qualification to be a US Senator. Thanks a lot, Debbie. Anyway, since beating Rubio took precedence, DU permitted advocating for Crist under the circumstances.

There will be no one left to be "persona non grata" because MOST are leaving that sham of a party if they steal this election from Bernie. Talk about delusional.

They obviously live in a bubble. They ignore the Reality on the ground - in every state.

The Revolution is here.

And it's not going away.

PEACE
LOVE
