Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

(34,661 posts)After the Mondale disaster,our Party purged any and all Union activist's and anyone who was or leaned progressive. In turn,we were replaced by the Elite Ivy League Educated so called Liberals,and now we see the true results. Watching Sanders trying to keep the Union Workers engaged only to be shot down by the Corporate Media and the Wall Street Democrats,is truly amazing. Remember,the Union Hall is the best phone bank one can get for free,as you and I well know.
Sad looking back through the years,our Democratic Party looks like the Rethugs of the Sixties. Here in Nevada,we have three distinct groups of Political Candidates running in this cycle. On the Democratic side,very Progressive(Bernie Supporters)and Dino's(Clinton Campers),and then we have the Tea Party(wannabe Rethugs supporters of the Militia/SovCit/Public Lands Groups)and it is one helluva game show. Today we find out Ricetts(TD Ameria Trade)just dumped a 1.6 million ad buy for one of these dupes. And Adelson and his Spouse are spending 1.5 million to clobber the Senate Candidate Cortes even though it is only one week left in the Primary Season. Truly Insane amount of Money flying around.
