(2,198 posts)The Democratic party model raised the standard of living and provided health and economic security from millions of Americans and literally grew the middle class for decades.
WTF are people talking about? It's they do not recognize that the Democratic "establishment" is made up the most patriotic, altruistic, progressive civic and political leaders of the previous century. Sure we had our group of bigots and racists who left to become the modern GOP party as we know it today. But give me a break! HRC ran on the most progressive platform of my lifetime and I am over 70. Socialists have always been around and have never been able to convince the majority of Americans that what they stand for is great for America.
If Bernie wants a party to lead, he should start one and leave us the fuck alone!
