In reply to the discussion: Ok then, Let's spell it out for Hillary "Democrats" [View all]The Second Stone
(2,900 posts)with the prospect of nominating Hillary Clinton. That it happens to coincide with the "elites" or "establishment" is not a disqualification if the majority are happy with it. And in the Democratic Party, by a margin of several million, the people have voted for Hillary Clinton.
That you poo-poo this as elites in favor of a candidate who has garnered a minority of the votes is fundamentally anti-Democratic. But it is Trotskyite. A form of authoritarian socialism of which Bernie Sanders was once a proud member, which he has never disavowed, and which many of his followers are knowingly following, and others are unknowingly following.
Vituperative name calling the majority "elites" is an Orwellian use of language.
Your objection that the two major parties do not reorganize themselves to accommodate Trotskyist takeover of the majority rule in each party is laughable. The Republican elites very much did not want to nominate Trump (or Cruz), but at least they abide by majority decisions. That's more than can be said for the Trotskyites.
