(751 posts)About how broken Democratic party is the fact they all speak with one voice (Corporate) and how little there is movement from the establishment position. Here we are before the first vote is cast, and it seems like 90% of elected officials have endorsed one candidate. The whole party structure is behind one candidate, and has been for couple of years.
How healthy is that? I'm not even suggesting endorsing Bernie. But why is there no one else challenging Hillary? My theory? Democrats are no different from Republicans, and they are bought by same big interests. These big interests have chosen their candidate, and everyone else is toeing the line.
Sure Republican voters are crazy, but IMO they are much closer to sticking the middle finger to their bought establishment politicians.
