Looking for unity after they intentionally sabotaged Bernie’s presidential campaign then blew the election with their anointed one.
I think in twenty years...it’ll be noted that Bernie opened up an entire discussion over the Democratic Party and the stagnant nature that they’ve been in....since the 1990s. It’s moved from being the party of the middle-class working guy...to a party of agendas.
In some ways...the primary period of 2016 did the same thing for the GOP...showing that they’ve also been in a stagnate nature for at least two decades.
Hey I got an idea... Democrats should all should just put pink pussy hats on.
The Berniecrats are the white race’s last stronghold in the party. If you’re black, you want black leadership. If you’re Hispanic, you want Hispanic leadership. If you’re Asian, you want Asian leadership. The Berniecrats are a way for the white know-it-all massahs to continue to rule the party and keep the multiculturals on the second tier where they can be trotted out as props in order to scream “racist” at Republicans but, otherwise, kept out of the most important decision-making.
Deep down, the white Democrats know that the eight years of Obama was an economic disaster and the corrupt third-world behavior of many in charge was a big reason why Middle America kicked them out.
It won’t be Kum-bah-ya in Democratland behind closed doors when the finger-pointing starts for 2016 - and 2018 when they see that Trump isn’t winning them seats either. They snickered and sneered at this crazy old socialist but he somehow got the millenials to buy into his pablum which makes him someone they ignore at their own peril.
The left ALWAYS engage in internecine battles. Eventually, the most bloody-minded types ALWAYS wind up on top.
Hoping the next elections put 60 Repubs in the Senate...61 if McCain is still around.
Here’s my take and I’d appreciate any corrections or additional observations.
1. The Berniecrats are party outsiders who want to take over the party and control its direction.
2. The party doesn’t want outsiders who haven’t paid their dues jumping to the head of the line.
3. The Berniecrats are not focused on the party winning elections at some future date. They are focused on taking over the party’s direction right now and winning elections isn’t on their to-do list until they control the party’s direction. (They probably imagine that if they can just set the entire agenda that the average voter will jump at the chance to elect their candidates.)
4. The various arguers are using classic identity politics against each other.
5. My impression is, the Berniecrats are political idiots, who, if put in charge, would essentially destroy the Democratic party. If not put in charge, they will fight against the party’s chosen candidates and direction.
6. Overall impression; adults have lost control of the classroom. Democrats are in more danger from Berniecrat activists than they are from Republican opponents.
Dims fractured? They have Maxine Waters as the new leader and are looking better to me than ever.
[In what should be Democrats’ strongest moment since November, a series of emotional and racially charged clashes are forcing the party to once again confront the problem that has plagued it for a year: How to incorporate the supporters of Bernie Sanders.]
How to move further left. That’s the ticket.
How do you pet a rabid dog?
The ones who haven't found a home in the Trump camp? These are socialists. You cannot reconcile with them.
*SPOILER* for Ol' Yeller - Stop reading
Ok?
Yah?
It's like if at the end of Ol' Yeller at the last minute Travis decides to put down the gun and hug it out with Ol' Yeller instead, everything will be OK...
Silence...
That silence was sponsored by the smile on my face, smiles don’t make a sound, after reading this article.
RATS have definite problems. :)
