Is Sanders running against Trump or Democrats?

The Democratic “establishment” passed Obamacare and showed tremendous political courage and paid a heavy price yet the ACA is now more popular than ever. What the fuck is Bernie Sanders talking about attacking the Democratic “establishment”?????? He had a big win. If he just gave a speech attacking Trump and the GOP and praising the “establishment” resisting him on the front lines now and showed a little class he would not be getting any blowback. He would be being praised by the “establishment”, even a “corporate crony” like Nancy Pelosi. He would have locked up the nomination. He is shitting all over the down ballot candidates he will need to pass anything. Bernie, pull your head out of your ass. If you are the nominee, your rhetoric needs to start UNITING the Democratic Party. Really. FU! Are you really this f-ing stupid? WE ARE NOT THE ENEMY!!!!!!

primary today, I would vote for:

But there's a party that has worked to provide social benefits to Americans.
Social Security
Medicare
Medicaid
ACA

And we all should remember the "Democratic establishment" helped make that happen. And that the "establishment" includes many women in power, and people of color, and working class people too.

Not to mention many hard-working and passionate workers for what's good for all of us.

working people of the 'establishment'. Don't feature having my parents' work ethics dissed. True Blue Dem since 1965. Don't feature having my political chops busted.

But in order to beat Trump he will need Democrats. We can all see where the danger lies with this situation.

about the forces in this party who were trying to turn us into kinder, gentler republicans (and have largely succeeded)?

... not funny 'ha ha' but funny ironic... if moderates in the party decided to emulate the "progressives" of the last 80 or so years and run a third party candidate, or threaten to, or sit out the election, or threaten to?

Some might be open to it. Not me. I think about the courts. I think about how long RBJ can hold out.
