Dem establishment disdains the Sanders revolution for the same reason that the Sanders revolution disdains the Dem establishment: “If you win, I lose power.” Nothing ever really changes. The story of America is a constant reenactment of the struggle between elites and the people
The irony is that the Sanders revolution, not a corporatized Democratic elite, IS a return to the soul of the Democratic Party. I’m old enough to remember when it had one so I know.
I wonder when/where that "soul" went!
During 1990s the Democratic party started playing the same corporate game the Repub party was playing; so much money was flowing into the political system at that time that it felt it had to. Clinton formed Democratic Leadership Council. Good intentions perhaps but a bad result.
Yes Americans too often forget the contributions of FDR and LBJ. In many cases our current social programs are because of the New Deal and Great Society programs. Something @BernieSanders is advocating for.
It’s my Twitter feed. Where would I go?
You were alive when FDR was president?
Ha! Pre-Democratic Leadership Council.
I hear you and agree with your sentiment in general. I’m disappointed you were treated poorly in the race. Thing is, I don’t believe the power dynamics in America have changed much since its founding. The elite have always had a vice grip on the rest.
The people who established our American democracy were elites themselves. They were landowners, they were slave owners. They were white European men. They were anti royalists for sure oh, but they were their own kind of elite.
