1. It's funny because the prominent Berniestans on twitter

have been talking about nothing but purging out the "Establishment" Dems and Blue Dogs like Pelosi and Feinstein for months (But don't ask them about their efforts to unseat purple district republicans because they'll act like you lost your goddamed mind)... For all their bullshit 'unity' rhetoric, they sure as shit haven't learned how to play well with others, have they? Over a year later, it's still their way or the highway and nobody has clued them in to the fact that there's only ONE FUCKING WAY and that road is still being constructed. Over a year later they're still attacking Black Twitter and Obama with impunity and then have the nerve to wonder why black folks aren't leaping at the chance to kiss the ass of their glorious 'revolution'... Over a year later with no significant gains or leverage they're still discussing a total party takeover the way the French discussed storming the Bastille... Over a year later their "I hate every Dem who doesn't have Bernie's blessing!/I hate Trump!" ratio of tweets is still hovering around a 90%/10% split... Right now I'm this close to telling the whole lot to fuck off and form their own party so they can at least officially stop pretending to be Dems...

Sorry if I'm stepping on toes, but I'm calling it exactly like I fucking see it... And once again I'll say for the record that Bernie Sanders could make a lot of this go away by joining the party, telling his biggest influencers on social media to fall in line, and having those people rein in the most vocal nutbars who don't fall in line... But who cares -- I only pointed out every major strategic mistake that the Sanders campaign was making in real time, but what the hell do I know??

Oh and by the way, Zogby isn't exactly an impartial party in this, and there are probably some honestly legit reasons why he isn't going...

EDIT: For the record, I *DID* vote for Sanders in the VA primary, so think twice before trying to start shit....
