lol i mean sure, but also another read is "the Democratic establishment prefers to lose more elections than expand its electorate"

Expand its electorate with whom, though? Sanders promises voters that never seem to appear at the polls.

Not enough scrutiny is given to media responsibility which controls the kind and scope of political discussion. The media prefers "safe" Wall Street friendly candidates. Here's your de rigueur Chompskyan manufactured consent reference.

I agree that the media plays an important role, but they are fragmented and prefer click-generating drama and storyline over any particular ideological result. The days of Walter Cronkite-like figures are over.
