Democratic party establishment is a blinkered, sclerotic, bought-and-paid-for excuse for a political leadership, without any demonstrated commitment to solving the catastrophic problems now besetting the U.S.–but with a real gift for gab about how much it cares.
It sold its soul and traded away its identity with its abandonment of the country’s working class under Bill Clinton. Don’t forget it just told Sanders it didn’t want a representative of organized labor working on drafting its convention platform, insisting on vetoing his selection of National Nurses United head Rose DeMoro.
Party leadership doesn’t know how to win elections. It doesn’t know how to govern. It cannot get any traction against GOP extremism. Where, Mr. President, are the confirmation hearings for your nominee?
Almost every decision the Dem leadership has made during this election cycle has been a misstep, and Hillary Clinton has run a terrible campaign. Instead of welcoming into the fold the huge influx of young voters attracted by Sanders, she insults them.
Equally distressing is the liberal commentariat establishment’s unchecked zeal to push us toward the precipice of a Trump presidency via it’s smug, dripping-with-condescension treatment of Sanders.
I will vote for Clinton if she gets the nomination, but if I were a Sanders diehard reading this stuff, I would barricade myself at home election day.
Hillary is a weak and compromised candidate, a direct expression of the current Dem Party malaise and dysfunction. It will take every imaginable vote to elect her.
