    So what? It’s not like there is much of anything to be done about it. On the other hand, Democratic primary voters (in the instances where the establishment allows us to have primaries) could get their heads out of their asses and actually nominate somebody who isn’t a damn corporate bot.

      This has nothing to do with the voters and everything to do with the party.

      The party shanked Bernie every time he tried. He would have won but the party rigged it against him.

      Democrats are as shitty to their own base as republicans are to the democratic base. Leftists in this country do not have a party. All we have is damage mitigation.

        It’s a “chicken or the egg” question. We have the Democrats we have because of the voters, and we have the voters we have because of the Democrats.

        It’s a responsibility of the citizenship to be aware enough to make informed decisions and not be led by the nose. Americans in general are pathetically ignorant and disengaged.

        Watch some random street interviews with average voters and it becomes crystal clear that fascism is what we collectively deserve.
