In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Argues He's Not 'Harming' Democratic Party by Staying in the Race [View all]DemMomma4Sanders
(274 posts)The name of the party...Democratic is great although its been anything but. We're a republic not a democracy. It seems that the older voters aren't even democratic rather hiding under the banner but in reality a Republican lite.
Two things can happen. The party can purge itself of the dinosaurs and start addressing modern problems with modern populist solutions like Direct democracy and Democratic socialism or the older democrats will merge with "Jenna Bush" style socially liberal fiscally conservative republicans and disruptive candidates will take over whats blue of the map today.
For a time, so long as the elites in the Democratic party deny that times have changed, this whole disruption is going to benefit the republican party.
It's a matter of how much damage are the FINANCIERS willing to do to the party before they acknowledge the populace may fear the word socialism, BUT SOCIALISM IS EXACTLY WHAT EVERYONE WANTS.
