Also this. The Hillary team had no way of knowing that Trump would be on the TV 24/7 spewing his bile. They also had no way of knowing that Trump's rampant racism and sexism was exactly what many americans wanted to see. The media gave Trump free advertisement throughout the drat campaign. That poo poo would never have happened in a country with competent and responsible news networks.

the problems in the Democratic party are systemic. it's a system that will prevent/smear/cheat an actual progressive from ever gaining any meaningful traction whatsoever. they'd much rather lose coast-to-coast and continue on their rich Wall St cocktail circuit with a Pres Trump or a Pres Cruz, than a Pres Bernie.


what you're suggesting will never, ever happen.


the only way and I mean the loving ONLY WAY to circumvent the establishment is to legitimize a (non-insane) third-party option.

basic hitler obvi u and i want the same ends but yeah, I really disagree with u on the means


I think the DNC is a ruling-class only party, and a law unto itself. I don't see any progressive route whatsoever through a party that is essentially a mouthpiece for the donors. My feeling is that even had Bernie "won" the nomination, the superdelegates would have ignored their duty and overturned it for Hillary. I don't think he was, in reality, actually that close at all. And I think the same would happen in future races.


I also think there's a wide gulf between Trump's campaign rhetoric and who/what he actually represents, and I think the RNC mostly knew that. And as much as I hate the Republican party, they are more prepared to (and therefore much better at) falling in line and closing ranks, than the tonedeaf and flailingly incompetent DNC.

But again, the problems with the DNC are deeply systemic. It's a system that's been completely turned over to the donors. The days of the Democratic Party representing anybody but the rich are looooooong gone. Expecting to just replace the current sitting bunch of bad seeds with "good" seeds, when the system itself is inherently corrupting and under the complete control of the ruling class, is going to result in endless years of zero progress and hapless flailing. Good luck with that.


You keep saying that Bernie got real close. Okay, well, the only thing that stopped Bernie from winning the nom was the DNC establishment itself. They'll do it again in 2020, and 2024, etc.


Even if by some miracle, a Bernie-crat actually got through (lol), the DNC would spin its wheels at hyperspeed and spend this person's entire term obstructing from within whilst claiming to be playing 4-D bipartisan chess with Republicans.


The only opportunity for actual progress is to build a third-party option from the ground-up, that isn't beholden to corporations, viable. Something like the Justice Democrats, or whatever.

look dude you don't have to agree with the proposition but gently caress you for implying i have any doubt that it would just be as bad or worse.

hillary clinton would've found some people whose names are less known, who are smart enough and proven to be able and willing to have the exact same policy behind doors as these assholes, except they would do it quietly enough that the YASS QUEEN crowd could scream about what a wonderful pioneering feminist hillary is, as she realizes her dream as a goldwater girl to bring back segregation, put minorities in prison for a long time for non violent offenses, go to war with some muslims, enact trade agreements that will specifically cripple the working class in this country, and offer a few token compromises like a minimum wage hike that's not nearly enough, and she would have the cooperation of enough democrats and republicans to do this that she would actually get more destructive horse poo poo done without the same level of opposition or criticism.

Like lol if you think her presidency would be any better. I am 100% confident it would be arguably worse if only because liberals sincerely think merely electing a democrat to office will guarantee certain things don't happen, that will happen, inspiring plenty of apathy and blind support for heinous actions they're all too acutely aware of when a republican does it.
