(19,926 posts)Especially after the disgraceful antics of last night with yet another smear campaign against Bernie and his supporters.
When the only other candidate in the party and her supporters act just like the GOP with the Wall Street money and the constant swiftboating attempts it is more and more difficult to identify with the establishment Democratic Party. The fact that they try so hard to define themselves as liberal and progressive is pathetic.
We need the party back where it belongs, on the left, supporting workers and unions and all the citizens of the USA without being tied to big money interests. The fact that the establishment Dems and their supporters are actively trying to squash people's dreams of a better life is sickening. What happened to the Democratic Party platform? It's a good one, we need to get back to those principles and ideals and drop the DLC/Third Way. Otherwise there will HAVE to be a third party that represents the people. If Bernie doesn't win the nomination that may just be the outcome of all of this.
