Barney Frank embarrassing himself on Lawrence O'Donnell's show.

49. I'm sorry

have you been paying attention to how Clinton supporters have talked to Sanders supporters? Not just online, in forums like this (which is horrible, dismissive and arrogant), but in the media. They pretend that his supporters are uniformed, talk down to them, then lecture others about how change happens (and do so in ways that are a-historic in the extreme). Not only that, but people are angry with politicians and people that want to maintain an inequitable and corrupt system. Wages haven't grown for most in over a generation, both parties' trade policies have decimated working people, inequality has exploded, infrastructure has collapsed, etc. Think that is why people are angry? Not only that, but the left's ideas are popular and have proven to work. Clinton, on the other hand, was instrumental in dragging your party to the right on economic issues, rose up with Walmart money, has been given along with her husband over three billion dollars from corporate interests, banks are her largest donors, and she has supported pretty damn right wing economic policies. Throw in the fact that she is not liked (if she runs against someone other than Trump she will have the highest net negatives of any major candidate since polling began), does worse with independents, polls worse than he does versus the Republicans, and is not trusted.

"she is electable"

No, she isn't. If she runs against anyone other than Trump, she is one scandal away from losing. She does worse than he does versus Republicans and has the same problems with likability that I mentioned.

We aren't going to change each others' minds, think what you want.
