I'm still wondering just how 50.1% of my party completely lost their way and fell in line with the very people that are fucking them over every single day. I know the 1%ers were never going to let the status quo change if they had a voice, and certainly the establishment party and other leadership folks (in labor & various left-leaning NGOs) are really just looking out for themselves.

I'm hoping it's just the last hurrah for the old guard, and that the progressive youth of America seize control of the party. But as you note, we'll no longer be free to discuss that here much longer. Nice to know not everyone will just bend a knee to the corporatists.
