In November 2017, Brazile said in her book and related interviews that the Clinton campaign and the DNC had colluded ‘unethically’ by giving the Clinton campaign control over the DNC’s personnel and press releases before the primary in return for funding to eliminate the DNC’s remaining debt from 2012 campaign,
We need a national movement to take the primaries out of the hands of the parties and run them like regular elections. Even better would be rank choice voting so we are no longer stuck with the two choices the wealthy give us.
Tried and failed, over and over and over and over again, but sure, I’m sure it will end differently this time.
If we could get enough voter cooperation to replace one of the major parties, any strategy would work. If we can’t then going third party is the worst possibile strategy.
Oh, definitely. I’m not critiquing “optimism”, just a particular strategy. There is no advantage that exists in a third party strategy that doesn’t exist in a intra-party strategy, but there are a lot of disadvantages. Until we get rid of first-past-the-post elections, third parties can’t overcome the spoiler effect.
Too bad he was vocally pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian liberation up until now. Ready to blindly believe the lies about the 40 babies, and somehow that Israel is allowed continued support every year with our money. Dude has lost all my support ever since bowing to Dems both times and not fighting. He allowed Dems to get what they wanted and all of us are assholes for not fucking around about withholding votes. Bernie got people excited about real change, and then allowed the very establishment we need removed to bring it to a hard stop (like always). Fuck him and his masters that enabled Israel’s decades and decades of planned genocide started with the colonization of Palestine by Zionists! He is just doing what all the Dems do, good quotes/speeches and nothing changed.
What more do you want him to do? Politics moves on the margins, and Sanders is now and for as long as I can remember been one of the most Israel critical politicians both in terms of rhetoric and voting history. He is not a king; he is 1% of 1 chamber of the legislative branch of a country that has a lot of issues to deal with.
Imagine if we had elected this beautiful bastard back in 2016.
Too bad the primary really was rigged
I keep seeing people say this. where can I find more information on the subject?

Maybe a national movement for a viable third party.

Things do change if people try.
