Give GOP props, 25 years of relentless propaganda has worked brilliantly against Hillary.

80. You are delusional. I hate Libertarians, and I find her and Bill Clinton offensive in the extreme.

What they have done to the Democratic Party is to tear down its traditional values in fighting for the less fortunate, in favor of a Party that kowtows to special interests.

Why? Because in the noxious wake of Ronnie Reagan, with his false and downright harmful ideas and policies, that was seen as the only way to WIN!

Well, it's not the way to win any longer. The success of Bernie Sanders and the relative hunger of people for his message, even though he started as practically a complete unknown, show that people are hungry for the kind of Democratic Progressivism, Populism, Liberalism that used to be taken for granted. That was established by truly great Democrats like FDR. This kept us in the majority for decades, way better than triangulation and Third Way politics has done.

So, now, when the people are hungry for it, you can safely bet that the Clintons and other party apparatchiks, who don't seem to recall our former glory days before triangulation, are going to try to feed us a stale diet of the same old shit and expect it to go down easily and to attract folks from the mythical center who they think actually like that gruel. All the while sticking it in the eye of those who are energized for the Democratic Party, as long as it remains true to its core traditional values.

What should be so hard? You Clinton supporters are always claiming with pride how "Progressive" she is. Well, prove it. Get her and the party hacks to incorporate us into the frigging Party for a change. The time is ripe. Heck, Hillary stayed in the race by being Progressive. Donald Trump even talks like an anti=trade Progressive, saving American jobs, because he knows it works!

Convince your brothers and sisters to join with us in a Great Progressive Crusade, and we will steamroll through these Republican maniacs like a knife through butter.

Continue to fight with us, condescend to us, lie to us about whether or not you are going to truly be Progressive, and that's another matter. That's a civil war on the Democratic side, and that' likely to remain ugly and get us nowhere. Same with triangulation. Been there, done that. It's a brand new day, and as much as President Obama has opened certain Progressive doors, there is much, much, much more to be done. Time to lead the charge in this Leftward direction for a change. It may not have been the right thing to do right after Ronald Reagan, but it's absolutely the correct and smart thing to do now.
