Yeah, I'm hoping Tulsi makes a Senate run. Nina looks to perhaps run for Ohio governor.
Yeah, here's hoping. I don't know if she can win, but I'd surely help fund her campaign.
My point was there isn't anyone in the Democratic party who didn't endorse Clinton. And endorsing Clinton is an endorsement of what I want to fight. So, we're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I don't care what those politicians did after Bernie dropped out; I myself agreed to vote for Hillary in August or September. I hate her, but I feared Trump more than I hated her (a decision I still think is mostly valid). I do, however, care about what they did
before he dropped out. It's why I'm still furious at Warren. I'll still back her over everyone else is that party of corporate/Wall St sycophants and shills, but Bernie is #1 on my list. There's no question in my mind that Bernie is the moral leader of our times. But the DNC plutocrats aren't going down without a fight.
And If we don't support whatever establishment pick the DNC churns out the Democrats are going to howl that we aren't unifying and they'll become bitter towrads us. What do you think? Are we guilty of not unifying or is it the establishment Dems who are the small % who are stamping their feet refusing to unify with us?
I gave them their one chance, a chance they didn't deserve, with Keith Ellison. Look, after you lose 1,000 local seats, the Senate three times, the House four times (in a row), you lose more governorships so you only hold onto ~33% of them, and then you also lose 69/99 state legislatures... And you
still won't work with the Left, even though it clearly has the grassroots activism, that was the breaking point for me. That was when it goes past being unreasonable or biased against the Left. The DNC is just populated with bad actors and bad human beings. The best argument you could make is that they just don't know any better, but pragmatically it makes no difference for what we have to do. There's a point where you have to internalize the fact that these people
literally would rather lose to a Republican than win with a Leftist. Maybe the voters do or don't, I don't know how well the negative PR on Bernie has influenced people (apparently not too well, considering his approval ratings), but the actual party leaders are clearly absolutely certain that they'd rather watch themselves lose to Republicans than watch us win anything.
PS: Again, I don't see why we share any responsibility, even if we just look at the primary. They hated us before we hated them (We complained about Hillary's big money interests, and we got called racists, sexists, fanatics, lunatics, and children in return, and literally the whole media trolled us at the Democratic establishment's behest), so I refuse to be responsible for their failures. They had a real chance for unity, they literally pissed down on it as Trump was ascending to the presidency, so I could care less what the actual sore losers of this situation think.
