Democratic Establishment Escalates Attacks on Bernie Sanders



In her term as the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz has seemingly done more damage to the Democratic party than anyone has in history. And as the establishment continues its attack on Bernie Sanders, it may be time to look at shaking up the entire party.

Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

I just can't understand how the Hillary group is blind to reality.
Is it possible they are just that ignorant and honestly believe Hillary and her corporate ties will be good for this country.

Do they seriously think her record provides any clue that she will support the middle class, the poor, the underserved. She was for the war, she was against marriage equality, she was for welfare reform, she has the strong support of the pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, banks and wall street, and lets not forget the support she has from private prison systems.

Her main concern has been, and continues to be, her wealth, power, and her need to be the first woman president.
The democratic party has been bought and paid for.

Just determined to hold hands with BIG money because it keeps them in office and is so much easier than trying to round up money from us little folk.

She's a complete disaster, like the rest of the Democratic Party establishment.

Power to the people. We must make the Democratic Party democratic again. Feel the Bern.

...is to put a neutral party in that office!

What is the most they can do? Put someone in that office who believes in public participation, who actively encourages public participation, who advocates publicly-funded elections and opposes SuperPacs and billionaire-run campaigns, who fights to get rid of the 'TRADE SECRET' code voting machines, and who fights like hell against the disgusting vote suppression tactics of the Pukes.

But, barring all that, AT LEAST someone who is neutral and fair to primary candidates!

Jeez.
