In reply to the discussion: Matt Taibbi: Democrats Will Learn All the Wrong Lessons From Brush With Bernie [View all]LiberalLovinLug
(14,180 posts)I've thought this for awhile now.
The thing establishment Democratic Party elites fear more than losing?......Actually winning all three houses.
Because then it would give strength and hope to the grassroots liberal base of the Party. They would expect that finally, finally after years, decades of either patted on the head and told "there there" we'll get to you...and away from cameras dismissed as the fucking "liberal retards", their reps would now have no excuses to shy away from real, quantifiable progressive action.
And if that started to happen, their big sugar daddies would be threatening to pull their donations, as well as cushy jobs to D reps when they retire from politics. Let's face it, working for "the people" is a lot less lucrative.
