A central problem is that much of the Berniecrat agenda comes from a willful misinterpretation of the Democratic Party’s positions.
Maybe they just want what they want. This reads like the only source of agenda comes from the party. That’s a very East German SED idea. No thank you. It’s entirely possible that things they want arose from simple necessity. Don’t make the party greater than the ideals it represents, it’s just a way of organizing people. Not an end in itself.
Democratic Party already does that. We are the party that passed the absolutely massive Dodd-Frank regulations.
The Democrats also held the Presidency for the repeal of Glass-Steagal. So not really. The true number of Democratic wins in that arena would be the number of successful prosecutions over the last 9 years against the people who caused the last large financial crisis . Sadly the number of those is zero.
The Democrats were the party of the Factory Floor, until the 1980’s. Then they tried and became addicted to big money and at the same time the factory floor died. They are not currently the party of the working class and have not been for a long time.
And you tell us that the DNC wasn’t playing dirty? Sanders might very well have lost on his own. But you tell me that the DNC leadership wasn’t playing dirty? Harr Harr. I chuckled.
The problem was not that they weren’t. The problem was that they got caught. It’s why they apologised and then resigned.
Don’t lie to us. We don’t like being lied to.
I’m against single payer. Fully. The Social Insurance model as exemplified by the Swiss or German Krankenkassen are the way to go. I was disappointed in Sanders when the Editors in New York asked him, “How ya gonna pay for it?” and he didn’t have an answer.
The Bernie would have won for sure idea is undercut by the fact that no one saw what the Republican Party would have done with his past. They have a powerful media machine. He never faced it.
But business as usual in the Democratic Party is not healthy, or good, or going to win.
In this story you have been shown to be either mishandling the truth, or you are very misinformed. If you can’t be honest, then you are as much of a liar as you claim the Berniecrats to be.
That’s possible. Maybe you are all lying to us and we need something completely different.
