In fact, the most egregious example of their undemocratic ways, is how they treated Bernie during the 2016 primaries, using super delegates to pad Hillary’s numbers.

If the democrats had allowed the system to work and allow the people to choose fairly between Bernie and Hillary, the results might have been very different. First, if Bernie had actually won the nomination, what a campaign between him and Trump! And secondly, if Hillary won the primary fairly, the Bernies that stayed home might have helped her to win.

Used to be stealth socialist(Hillary) and a few self avowed socialists(Bernie).

For those paying attention, we knew they were all in love with socialism.

The more LEFTYS that pull off the mask, the better for our side.

Democrats haven’t been moderate since the 1970’s.

They only talked that way to win elections.

Now they are even faking it anymore.

You have to see Bullworth and the premise is that Warren Beatty is playing a U.S. Senator having a major nervous breakdown and has hired a hitman to kill him. During his breakdown he starts telling the truth about the Democrats and the real reasons for the way things are. It is pretty good Satire but there is a lot truth there in the Democrats Hypocrisy in everything. Bullworth is not advocating anything just finally telling the truth.

I just read the article, the idiot that wrote this evidently does not understand Satire which what Bullworth was, Beatty’s character was not really advocating anything, he was just exposing the Hypocrisy of it all. This guy just saw what he wanted to see, not what what was really there.

Beatty when he did this film was flirting with running for President. Maybe he should have, would have been entertaining.

Well if she is giving a speech at the dem convention in 2020 we’ll know the party is going full socialist.

It is a 100% rock solid lock that she will be giving a prime time speech at the 2020 convention. She’s Latina and she’s hot. The hottest chick they’ve had in their party since Eleanor Roosevelt.

She has already crossed queen bee Pelosi. If anyone thinks her totally open borders position in the democrat party they’ll be in for a rude awakening.

We've been here before, and not really all that long ago. Henry A. Wallace went full socialist and was nearly elected President - "nearly" meaning he got 2.4% of the popular vote in 1948. It's a losing proposition, and they're mostly making it out of frustration at not being able to crush their opposition and anxiety that their "right side of history" is simply the partisan illusion that it is.

Socialism is currently being touted as something it is not - its "popularity" is that of Marvel Comics, not the Declaration of Independence. It's intellectual pablum - easily digested abstractions that don't require too much thinking but do incite passion. In practice it's demonstrably a failure, and its popularity tends to wax and wane with the proximity of its most recent debacle. Venezuela is the current poster child. They're simply avoiding it, but as Rand's saying went, you can avoid reality, but you can't avoid the consequences of avoiding reality. You can avert your eyes, though, and lie about it as the Left did about Cuba for decades. Now that the truth is visible, you don't hear that so much anymore.

She will not bring up her open border immigration policy - that's for the latinos and disaffected hipsters in her district, not for national consumption. And the media will respect that distinction.

She'll get up there and do that sassy latina thing - a little head bopping and throwing out a mic-dropping Trump challenge and the goofball Dem crowd will have convention floorgasms over her.

Yup. Sound reasoning. I agree. But just give thanks neither of the socialist/communist won.

Now, if they would just stop pretending to care about anything but their own self-aggrandizement.
