In reply to the discussion: Rachel: Is Obama part of the Democratic establishment? Bernie: No [View all]rusty quoin
(6,133 posts)42. So I go to the bottom of responses and say that Bernie has more to do with FDR than most.
Its fact. If you like post Reagan and money in our elections, well thats you.
I think that the money is corruption like it was the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and then the citizen united thing really changed the game.
I like Bernies thinking over Democratic Establishment because its no different than FDR. Im old school...really old school.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Sanders doesn't get to define who any establishment is so the last sentence makes no sense.

Making up one's own definition is not "fact", it's creative, it's imaginative, it's hip...
