    As a HIGHLY PAID Democratic Strategist the LAST thing I would Advise them to Do is ACCEPT the ONLY People in their Party CAPABLE of Winning an Election! We MUST fight Republicans! Trump! People who want to HELP Americans!

    Do politicians not realize that this is the will of the people? If people wanted centrist leaders, they’d vote for centrist leaders. Obviously centrist leaders aren’t doing the job so they want somebody who will. And who will fucking do something.

    So when they say they’re going to war with people who are more liberal leaning than them, they’re literally going to war with their constituents.

    I’ll be very interested to see them wage this “war” because they’ve been steadily losing ground against progressives for quite a while now. The fact that they had to freeze out Bernie instead of successfully smearing him was a death knell for the corporate power bloc.

    How fucking stupid do you have to be to literally fight against the representatives that your constituents VOTED IN. Jesus its like Democrats are addicted to failure.

    It’s a war they will lose, because the people won’t vote to keep them in office when they have infinitely better alternatives who finally know they can win.

      Yeah by hard work they don’t mean legislate, whip votes for legislation, or anything that has to do with their actual job of representing constituents. Democrats can’t be an opposition party because they are too busy opposing themselves.

    Yeah, I’m fully convinced; “centrist democrats” are on the GOP payroll. Getting rid of these fucks will probably be more impactful than getting rid of the GOP. Kind of hard to vote for an opposition to the Republicans that has absolutely no interest in, you know, opposing.

      It’s a ratchet moving things to corporate controlled fascism. And, yes, I’ve considered primaries to be more important than the general elections for quite a while now.

      More accurately, the Democratic establishment is working for the same people as the Republican establishment. No funding flows from the GOP to the DNC, but they both drink from the same stream.
