    I will say, though, that establishment Democrats and grassroots progressives, in general, have many serious, substantive differences.https://twitter.com/Mikel_Jollett/status/874652808443604992 …

    I admire both @ShaunKing & @JoyAnnReid, both Bernie & Hillary. I think it's fine for allies to disagree. This is a process. We will win.

        Ds will destroy the party if they cannot find common ground and allow for diversity. Plain and simple. Debate is ok. Vilification is not.

        Is Sherrod Brown grassroots or establishment? Claire McCaskill? Nancy Pelosi? Are we establishing some kind of test?

        The problem is the purity test mindset, IMO. We're a big tent with big ideas. Democracy is messy. That's ok. Hating on each other is not.

        Of course there are serious differences. But I don't hear any Dems saying that Ossoff is as bad or worse than Handel, despite his centrism.

        Sure but there were grassroots progressives who did support Hillary over Bernie and they shouldnt be dismissed as "establishment" for that

        Racial attitudes/beliefs is what motivates voters,not economics. Until we ack.inequality,nothing else matters. No reconciliation w/o truth.

        Remember "establishment democrats" is code for sit-down from Bernie Bros, consistently followed by lots of blame for Dems. So evolved. FFS

        I think a lot of the unrealized votershare was in the anti-establishment portion of the Democratic Party (Sanders). A lot of momentum lost.

        They aren't all "grassroots progressives." Y'all keep ignoring the progressive wing of the Dems. DNC is drifting rght. We're still Dems.
