    There's a fundamental divide here. Some of us think a party exists to advance a politics, rather than politics existing to advance a party.https://twitter.com/ArmandoNDK/status/1078266696509599744 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Armando @ArmandoNDK
    Here’s the insight if you missed it- the distaste for Sanders if very much rooted in his and his supporters’ attacks on the Party whose nomination he seeks. If he’s serious about trying to win the Dem Party nomination- it’s something he simply has to give up. /4

        I guess it depends on if the party in question is the only vanguard against facism or not 🤷‍♂️

        Precisely. And Bernie’s criticism of the dems as corporatist neoliberals in bed w Wall St is right on target. Bernie’s critics never address the substance of the matter

        Primarily because there's no substance.

        “It doesn’t matter; he’s a vote for Pelosi for Speaker” has been an underlying dkos mantra since I hung out there 14 years ago

        This is an ungenerous reading of the sentiment. Many people like me where dismayed by Sanders’ criticisms because they were reckless and added to many folks’ delusion that the two parties were equally bad, helping the plutocratic white supremacy party take over the federal gov

        What politics were being advanced when Sanders’ rightful but blunt condemnations of a rigged economy failed to paint to many folks that beating the republicans was an imperative to ending that system? When he started campaigning in the general, it was too late

        Parties are not ideological. At all. They exist only to garner and maintain money and power for themselves. They use *our* ideologies to garner our support. But they don’t have ideologies. They will always politically support policies that they believe help them get money/power.

        That's a silly reading of what's being said.
