I thought we were pretty clear. We said, repeatedly, that we:

  • did not did not want more of the same failures
  • did not did not want more of the same failed policies
  • did not did not want more of the same failed leadership
  • did not want the DNC being dominated by the big money donors
  • did not want the same misguided (or corrupt?) cadre members running the party
  • did not want a party that was trying to be ‘republican lite’
  • did not want a party that abandoned Labor to court table scraps from Wall Street
  • did not want a party that ignores grassroot movements unless they get to craft them and manage them as disposable tools
  • did not want another cowardly ‘beltway insider’ who only braves interviews when he can control the questions (i.e. you, Mr. Perez)
  • did not want more establishment
  • did not want more business as usual
  • did not want more neo-liberalism
  • did not want more of being well-funded losers in the next series of near-mock elections

I thought we were clear about all this.

So, lets be clear now.

  • We are not your toy solders.
  • We are not your followers.
  • We are not your drooling sycophants.
  • We are aware of your games and your duplicity.
  • We are aware of your corruption.
  • We are aware of your disloyalty to the principles etched on the shining banners you vigorously wave for us to follow.
  • We are aware you only seek to use us.
  • We are aware you have no intention to help us.
  • We are aware that you will never actually represent us.
  • We are aware of the disdain you have for us.
  • We know exactly what you are now.

So YOU be aware:

Because you *refused* to listen to us: we are finished with you.
