29. We have progressives here in DU that are tired of the conservative leadership of our party.

Conservative leadership that has done zero to help those living in poverty. Conservatives that are more concerned with helping corporations getting profits than helping the 99%.

The Democratic Party has been split. The Progressive Side that favors the 99% and the Conservative side, taking black money from the billionaires and supporting the 1%.

You said this, "We have "Democrats" urging people to NOT vote for HRC in the general if she is the (D) candidate." If that were to happen, it would be a violation of the TOS. Maybe you are thinking of people pointing out the obvious. The large enthusiastic crowds supporting Sen Sanders are doing so because they see him as an honest candidate and most likely will be pretty pissed if the Democratic leadership, beholden to the billionaires, manipulate HRC into the general.
