Hillary doesn't need progressives to win. We're an afterthought for her.
She doesn't need progressives, greens or socialists. The Democrat's strategy to win the general election is for massive turnout among Democratic party loyalists.
They are working overtime to marginalize the left and our ideas. They ran a Republican anti-tax campaign against us. They laughed at ideas like universal public provision of health insurance.
The Democrats are happy to have our votes, but give us nothing material in exchange. It's a completely capitalist political party that no longer offers anything but capitalist answers to our troubles. Their top priority is protecting the right of corporations to profit. They offer war and endless conflict abroad, and a long slow painful rusting away at home. American civil society is being eaten up by the corporate state one sidewalk at a time, one school at a time. And the Democratic party are the ones doing it. Democratic politicians run all the major cities. And every one of them is a disaster zone where land devlopers are guaranteed to right to profit, while great numbers of people struggle everyday to access the most basic needs of life.
The Democrats take our votes for granted. They don't need us to win. They have it locked so much that they feel free to marginalize us at every level every day.
