I like Bernie and would happily vote for him, but after Dubbya and the treatment Obama has gotten during his terms, I want someone who will nonstop, 24/7 skull gently caress Republican lawmakers until they agree to play ball and govern instead of building media circus hills to media circus die on.

Building media circus/bully pulpit hill after bully pulpit hill is admittedly all I can picture the Berninator doing without full Dem control of the House and Senate.

Also anyone who isn't for seeing Imperator Hillarosa unleash decades of carefully saved Republican tears upon Capitol Hill needs to :getout:

This hyperoverreaction to the idea of appealing to low income voters is so strange. Like, I think addressing racism and misogyny is important, but I don't see how doing only that builds a coalition that makes inroads into GOP domination at the state and local levels.

I believe the Sanders vote % in NH and VT will be held out as the true correct unskewed result nationwide while the other states will be lost due to Clinton-trickery.

Because:

A.) women and minorities make up over 75% of the electorate, so saying "you'll never get elected without focusing on what I, a white man, wants" seems wrong as a start

B.) historically, most movements in the U.S. that have had success in promoting class issues have only succeeded when they agreed to sell out any sort of representation of minority issues (see: New Deal) so when you say "maybe minority rights aren't as important" there's a path you're going down that everyone knows you're going to go down eventually and whining about "wow you guys are so mean" rather than explaining what minority issues the dems should drop isn't helping

I'm not going to say it's impossible to deal with class politics and identity politics at the same time, but this country doesn't have a good track record with it. I'm not sure what the Democratic Party can do to reach out to working class whites because as far as I can tell, at least in my area, what's keeping those voters away *is* the party's commitment to social justice and identity politics.

Raising the stakes in a situation they seem to have been caught red-handed. The DNC is saying they exported and downloaded data. Interesting to see how this pans out for either side.

Indeed. They reiterated that they fired the director who was doing it and are looking into what the other three did and may fire them too.

Remember, it isn't what you actually do for minorities, it is how ideologically pure your coalition is!

So are you seriously arguing that without the Democrats we would be better off on civil rights?

I bet most of the men who gave women the right to vote were sexist too! If only we had waited long to pass sufferance, we could have done it with ideological purity!
