I'll say it.
Adapt or lose.
He's was & is the most popular political figure in America. If you can't handle criticism after the unforced blunder of losing to Trump, go sit in the corner and let's get back to the business of electing representatives who are looking out for their constituency 1st and foremost- not the donor class, or corporate interests, or the lobbying efforts.
Time to get off the fix of hiring consultants and the rest to the tune of over a billion dollars and sitting on the sidelines . Of course, some people don't like the idea of rethinking strategy and embracing an economic message. Oh well, refuse and continue to lose.
Everyone should press any candidate running for office to pledge an oath to a constitutional amendment to get money out of politics. A firm commitment should be the minimum requirement for endorsement of any candidate. If they don't recognize that money has polluted our democracy and the process then simply refuse to accept voting for them.
If Trump isn't a wake up call that BOTH parties are off course. Seriously, the Republican party is outright punitive if you are poor or a minority. Democrats need to be even more vigilant and centrist policies are half hearted half measures, and will get the same half assed enthusiasm.
The UK elections and Corbyn are a mirror example, and the same idiots in Labour who mocked and chastised Corbyn are the same idiots here to find a way to overlook the Democratic Party leadership's blinders and blunders to launch an attack on Sanders.
Sorry, not sorry. We did it your way last go around. Time for a new captain & charting a new course.
