Many democrats won their elections, not so with “progressives,” all of whom lost.

And then they shafted Kieth Ellison in favor of Perez (a loyal operative they dug up out of nowhere at the last minute). Ellison was deemed too progressive, despite being a loyal party insider. What a fucking circus.

“You should join the Democratic party to change it”

First Bernie Sanders was not inter-sectional enough, now he pushed Clinton too far to the left.

If you can change an ancient and well-established political party by joining it, why shouldn’t we join the GOP and try to change it from the inside?

Because getting a Dem in a usually Republican Congressional seat is exactly the same as electing the new Mayor of Omaha. Because you are really dumb I’ll explain this to you: the Congressional seat matters more in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah, they dissolved just recently. Guess that changes everything. DLC people remain firmly rooted in the party. But perhaps you can also try to refute my arguments by finding typos or grammatical errors...

Maybe the Democratic party should spend less time bitching about Bernie Sanders and more time adopting some of his policies.

Fuck your party. Also, in what alternative universe do you have worry about the Dem Party being “turned over” to Sanders. In the same one where you worry about the GOP being “turned over” to Putin?

You do realize that the DLC does not give a shit about most black people, no?

Yes. We need more people like Corey Booker. We can’t let the Repugs or white people take all that pharma and Wall St. cash. It’s all about Diversity(TM)

“THE TWO PARTIES ARE THE SAME” (actually, almost nobody argues this is literally true.)

Your comment is why the Dems lose. They don’t stand for shit. As the last election showed, “vote for me or else the Republicans” is not even a good strategy for getting into power. It is certainly not a good strategy for doing something with that power after getting elected.

Did Bernie Sanders fully understand issues more important to women and brown and black people, maybe not.

Also the is one message that can unify all the groups you mentioned: liberty, equality, fraternity. Not “equality of opportunity” or “access” or any of that horseshit. Real political and economic equality for people who work for a living. It is profoundly unifying and political, in a way that “lets get more women and…

I fundamentally disagree with that. The problem for the Dems is not division over principles—it’s the utter lack of principles. The Republicans are a party of bigotry and the rich. They believe these things strongly, and so does their base. The Dems are a business party trying to look like a “left-wing” party, and…

“Clinton’s solutions”

Ha, if you had to live on minimum wage that 3$ an hour would matter more than vacillation by some Democrat over abortion. If you lost your job or your house thanks to Clintonite economic policies, that would also matter more. If you died in fucking Iraq... Do we really have to go through all the terrible and inhumane…
