    There’s a lot more reasons why we’re here than Hilary Clinton. If you can’t get over it we’re going to keep backsliding, again, and again, if we ever even make it out alive

      If the party is determined to keep making the same mistakes that they never addressed, they will continue losing. They seem fine with that.

        Got damn, I didn’t know that. I apologize and retract the part of my statement about Hilary, but do maintain we might not make it out of this alive

          Not a one of us will make it out of here alive.

          That’s a fact of life in this realm we must eventually experience.

            My favorite is the Bernie folks filed a lawsuit against the DNC for unfair practices against Bernie, and the court threw it out because as a private group the DNC could do whatever they want.

              This isn’t what actually happened.

              What happened was worse.

              The DNC made the argument they didn’t need to follow their own rules because they were a private organization.

              To me that is far worse.

              My favorite part is how the party still expects us to believe they run honest primaries after that.

      She made Trump her pied piper because he was the only one she had a shot against and then she failed. Trump is quite literally Hillary Clinton’s fault. He would not have won 2016 if she hadn’t narcissistically demanded that it was her turn to be president.

          That path doesn’t involve the DNC. Look at how they treated David Hogg, of all people.

              The tea party had a lot of astroturfing. Again we look at how Sanders, AOC, and Hogg are treated to see how the structural power of the part will be turned against those that push back even a bit on their insular geriatric views. I see value in what you’re describing, I think I just see transforming the democratic party as more of a trap of energy than causing the needed change that people actually want.
