Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumIs 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!!!!!!

(7,947 posts)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.

(43,867 posts)... 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.
