Either they truly believe that socialism will scare off the mythical swing voter (as that’s their stated reason) or they are worried about the consequences of one party being able to win while untethering themselves from the rich donor class.

And that’s why they need to be removed from the apparatus entirely using the tools at our disposal to reclaim the DNC for... hell, all we want is to fucking make the basic changes necessary to preserve our democracy and HELP PEOPLE sustain our capitalistic society by giving them the tools necessary to adapt to a…

If they seriously think that Bernie’s ideas are worse than Trump’s, then they belong on the other side of the aisle instead of fucking up ours.

They probably do. The question is why should any of us care what they think? Their track record leading their own party has been pathetic. They don’t offer any counter-proposals that will sufficiently address our overpriced healthcare system, climate change, income inequality, our atrocious justice/prison system, the…

exposed for the conservatives they really are.

Sure, that’s why they don’t care what voters want and are upset that Bernie can’t be bribed. You’d have to be ridiculously gullible to think these people give a shit about this country.

They rather lose than have Bernie win and then be exposed for the conservatives they really are.

Please, let’s all stop calling the Democratic elite “liberal”. Even the most blood-soaked Tory in England knows it is political suicide to outwardly attack their National Health Service.

They’d rather lose to Trump than have Bernie win. These people are fucking ghouls, who care more about their money than the welfare of their country.

cap, a liberal think tank? are you serious? corporate whores, they are!

It doesn’t matter how he made his money, you can’t preach his sermon while being a wealthy person without being at least a little hypocritical.

I’m not the one who brought up spouses.

Yeah, that sucked. You know what she didn’t do? Get paid her annual salaries to say nice things to megabanks for an hour about the nice things she was going to do for them.

This idea that Bernie was not vetted just seems crazy to me. He ran in the primary against literally (at the time) the most powerful woman in America, with the deepest political connections across the country, with groups like CAP and the most respected liberal media in her pocket. I mean, when people talk about,…

Whomever is the nominee will have a bus thrown at them. I am always surprised that Democrats are so worried that Sanders is the one who will be “vetted” and smeared. The American Electorate knew that Trump was a sex offender and crime boss and nearly half of them voted for him anyway.

Hillary did not win and so all efforts are being made to deny Sanders any success by the Hillary camp. They have given every reason for Hillary’s loss from Sanders to Putin to gerrymandering to Comey and I can go on and on but will not do the simplest thing, which is look in the mirror.

Counterpoint - ThinkProgress obviously has no editorial independence from CAP and will be used as a front to cowardly smear Sanders. It is clear to anyone who reads these pieces or the emails between Podesta and Tanden that there is something personal here, why shouldn’t that be pointed out? 

There is no “editorial independence” at ThinkProgress

The rich will do anything to stop Bernie.  He is getting attacked by all establishments.  Democrats, Republicans, and the media.
