That the Democratic party is on the right course. He flipped over to the GOP because they are more staunchly pro-israel, and even more business friendly than the third-way dem's he has supported for so long. He is a trump supporter now, pledging $100 million to his super pac. Lady liberty shudders as the last vestiges of a functioning democracy fall away, and a ruling elite party emerges, hell-bent on appeasing their corporate masters on the backs of the middle class. How did we get here? How are the rural working class poor so gullible as to be tricked into voting directly against their own best interests for the sake of a few polemic moral issues.
Corporations may not be people But a lot of people definitely are corporations
The only one who tops the Clintons in the regard is Trump himself. Read about her speaking arrangements with UCLA, http://www.cbsnews.com/news/behind-the-scenes-of-hillary-clintons-300000-speech-at-ucla/ and tell me you can honestly disagree. Oh I know, these speeches were given "before she knew she'd be running", my guess is she's been groomed since her college years for this, and she is thoroughly frustrated at having had to wait so long, hence her indignance toward Bernie and his supporters; an annoying rash that she's neglected far too long and now has turned septic.
If Hillary expects the backing of Bernie's voters in November, then "SHIT HAPPENS"
IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE FUCKING RESPONSE to Bernie being left off the ballot in D.C.!
If she wins the nominations, SHE WILL INDEED have to answer for these "anomalies", either to those of us now feeling the Bern, or in november to the entire nation in a concession speech TO DONALD TRUMP. Wake up democrats! Don't settle for Clintonian incremental appeasement, American politics are changing dramatically in November, we need to make sure it's a change for the better! The status quo is over, whether we like it or not!
I know right now we are supposed to start rallying around the heir apparent...
But hillary has demonstrated weakness to key vulnerabilities that the GOP will seize upon in a general election.
It's also worth noting that moderates on either side of the aisle seem immune to the ignorant suggestions of communist overtones in bernie's democratic socialist moniker. Though many Bernie supporters may back Hillary in the general as a half-hearted token of support, there will be little follow-up turnout at the next mid-terms, as witnessed in the Obama buyer's remorse turnout which lead to a solidified GOP control of congress.
My point is that fervent bernie supporters (which appear to be a considerable majority in key states) are primarily interested in electing a party outsider, who also appeals to the segments which both admire and despise trump, and bernie seems poised to galvanize this group into a new faction (yes, faction) squarely opposed to the primarily corporatist goals of either party. The ensuing emergence of a movement no longer consumed by xenophobia or ideology, obsessed with only one thing: fundamental change to the way america works will change forever the discourse of American politics. Third-way dems shilling for their corporate bosses and repubs blindly saluting traditional conservative values will lose their luster when voters realize that what they really want is change, and Hillary cannot compete with either trump nor bernie in this regard.
The Republicans want badly to run against hillary because although they know she will trounce them in a general, she is the lesser of two evils. A Bernie win followed by a strong mid-term turnout would spell the end to their oligarchy, and both parties will be devastated by the crowd of incoming progressives.
