Remember when Obama and Rep. Clyburn interfered in the 2020 Democratic primaries to clear the field for Biden? We all saw how that turned out.
The Democratic establishment is out of touch with what its voters want, as well as what independents want. Recent polling shows that independents favor a progressive agenda, debunking the establishment’s argument that the platform must be diluted to bathwater in order to attract the non-aligned.
The establishment has treated our elections as a spoils system in which they get to dispense patronage. That has to stop.
