Number 1.
Hillary Clinton - this is the obvious one. Senator Sanders has the heart & soul of the people. Hillary Clinton, who thinks she is 'entitled' to be president, I believe, is behind most of the attacks. This is allowed in the political world. She is losing big time.

Number 2.
Republican party - they don't want another FDR (but better) president. They want Clinton if not a republican. They win with Hillary or a republican.

Number 3. The oligarchy - See number 2. This includes the 'media' and corporations.

You should copy this post to 'primaries' to get the most discussion....

Is a repost (with some commentary) of an article from an outside blog. So yes, there were forces starting to attack Bernie at that point, both from Republican and establishment Democratic quarters, but does it make certain DUers part of a vast right-wing conspiracy? Yeah, not so much.

one does not need to be "part of" a vast conspiracy to be manipulated into serving its nefarious purposes, and that is abundantly evident of late

We have a nice number of absolutely loathesome people on DU. Not just like "oops they said something fucking dumb" but like, repeated, constant patterns. And all of them get to stick around. Most of htem are in host positions. it's very weird.
