It is obvious at this point that Bernie Sanders is unable to get off this power trip, and he doesn’t mind ruining all of his future political capital to do it.

He’s not interested in reality, and he’s not interested in working within an organization, which means he’s not interested in democracy.

Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat in more than one sense of the word.

  Keep an eye on the Green Party’s Jill Stein, she’s been beckoning Sanders to join her campaign for the past several months.

  Bernie’s not a democrat and has openly stated as much. He’s going back to (I).

Tim Canova was a close Sanders advisor who shares his philosophy on financial inequity and shoring up the banking system, while DWS favors predatory lending. Why wouldn’t Bernie support him?

  Kinda weird I had to scroll down pretty far to get the first mention of her predatory lending deal. This is the story, people. I’m sure DWS would rather it be “old man and his violent thugs threaten to unseat valiant progressive hero.”

DWS has done so much harm to democratic brand this election that even if she doesn’t lose her congressional race she should lose her chair.

Then again, maybe it’s too late and she should just keep driving it into the ground. I’ve stopped calling myself a democrat, and I’m sure others have as well. Might be time for a new party.

  Might be time for a new party. Classic.
  
  Also, might be time for a civil war. Question is, what are you going to do about it?

Wasserman-Schultz has been terrible for years, so the question now will be whether or not she can bring in enough support to survive this cycle. I lost faith in her years ago when she and Obama were unable to work together, mostly because of her brittle persona.

  She’s a member of the House. The only reason anybody has heard of any member of the House is that they are effective behind the scenes or they are good at bloviating on television, either of which probably makes them kind of horrible.

I think she may very well be the worst leader the DNC has had. She comes across as simultaneously highly manipulative and highly out-of-touch and channeling a survey group’s results. It’s pretty bad when you look even less effective as Reince Priebus.

  An interesting aspect is that in 2008 there was talk that she was a Hillary traitor for coordinating with Obama when Hillary’s campaign moved into the death rattle phase.

I Curse Zoidberg!Melissa Cronin

Ya, so it is about time to start thinking critically about Bernie. Below is an incomplete list of the traits he currently shares with another presidential candidate:

- Bernie a populist candidate with little real policy to support his largely unobtainable platform.

- He’s consistently complained about the electoral process, while at the same time, disproportionately benefitting from the party rules.

- He’s recently had a number of “dust-ups” with his supporters at rallies and conventions.

- He’s publicly feuding with the heads of his party, threatening to fire them if he doesn’t get his way.

- He has major issues reaching out to minorities and women, and hasn’t done much during his campaign to overcome these problems.

I’m not saying that Sanders is pure evil like Trump, far from it, but these are some real concerns here. If he were to become more relevant, I think the media would be hammering him over these problems, similar to what they have been doing to Trump the past few months.

  He's doing well with millennial women and minorities. It's a generational difference not a gender/minority one.

He is really bitter. He actually convinced himself he was going to win. He really thought he was leading a revolution. He believed his own marketing, and now here he is trying to burn it down on his way out.

It would be nice to acknowledge that Bernie is referring to DWS’s primary opponent. You know, so that we can understand what the fuck is going on in your three sentence write-up.
