The Dem establishment was long ago hijacked by big donors, and has abandoned the working class that was the Dem base.
eg, DWS is pro-TPP/TTIP, just like Hillary will be after the campaign.
Until the election laws particularly at the state level are changed this is the best method for meaningful change. Keep hijacking the party Bernie.Now that he's endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, Bernie Sanders is gearing up to launch a set of liberal organizations aimed at continuing his push for a "political revolution."
One of the groups will be focused on crafting policy while another one will be devoted to recruiting and boosting liberal candidates to run for office, according to a source with knowledge of the plans. Potentially, a third organization would be some kind of political action committee focused on registering new voters.
While details are still being hammered out, the Vermont senator alluded to his steps to continue pushing the Democratic party to the left and build out his own progressive infrastructure in his speech Tuesday endorsing the presumptive Democratic nominee.
"Our goal will be to advance the progressive agenda that we believe in and to elect like-minded candidates at the federal, state and local levels who are committed to accomplishing our goals,” Sanders said at a joint rally with Clinton in New Hampshire.
Sanders and his wife Jane Sanders discussed starting the groups with Charles Chamberlain, the executive director of Democracy for America. The Vermont senator and his wife received encouragement to start the organizations from Chamberlain, according to DFA spokesman Neil Sroka.

You should just make that your sig and quit parroting. It makes you appear the simpleton when that is all you ever have to say aside from GFY and general ranting in response to criticism.
FWIW, this is a pretty nonfactual take of the current state of pluralism. While unions have been marginalised, they are still represented directly by the dems. Clinton securing their endorsement was huge in her winning the primaries in the NE.
Trash would be nowhere without the support of low-info, low-wage white men. This conned, racist, misogynistic asshole demographic actually thinks Trash and Repugs will give a about them.
Now moving onto a different one of your memes. Your pet name for Trumps is btw tbh.
Yeah "Trash" is one of the dumbest nicknames I've ever heard.
check out my post about Trash and sewage. Trash is a bag.
Hillary would be nowhere without being crooked as . It is going to be hilariously funny watching her try to crab back to the center after knocking off Bernie. The liberal base will be furious.
"crooked" ? CosmicParasite parroting Trash.
You were calling her crooked a month ago when you were Berning.
I don't like the endorsement of Hillary at all, regardless of its "degree" of endorsing so to speak. I feel like he purposely marginalized himself for the sake of the Democrats at large, which is exactly what he was railing against. It was a tough situation but he should have kept his word and fought to the convention, even if it wasn't the best move to make for the other election year democrats. I still have respect for the man and know he will continue pushing for sensical reform in Washington, but I'm not convinced he didn't sabotage the "revolution" when he crossed the battlelines and joined the Clinton camp.
Of course, she's crooked. But your lover boy Trash is 10x worse in every possible way.
What am I supposed to do about my leg Charlie Murphy!
He was in cahoots with Hillary to corral the youth vote - the Obama coalition demographic she struggles the most with. The plan was always to rile them up against the R candidate and hand them off to Hillary. His campaign went a lot better than expected (the goyim actually took him seriously) and he got a little big for his britches. Now most of the Berniebots are vowing to stay home, write in Bernie, or vote Green. Some are even voting for.
This DNC "get out the vote" plan backfired in a big, big way.
Couldn't he be better by just not being a neocohen ?
Hillary is going to run away from Bernies platform as soon as she can.
Maybe but she needs to win reelection and her party wants the millennial votes. Seeing how they capitulated to your generation for similar reasons 25 years ago, I see them doing the same.
neither Bernie could no have gotten, nor Hillary will get any progressive laws, regs passed. Repugs will block everything.
I have to say that boutox using hopeless fatalism as an excuse is one of the more cowardly worldviews I've ever seen.
Repugs will block everything. It's simple mathematics. Repugs have done it for 8 years, and will do it for the next 8 years.
Go find the 2016 Repug platform. David ing Barton and Tony ing Perkins are on the platform committee.
Go lookup "redmap".
now, nor you nor ANYBODY here has shown any path to stopping the strict obstructionism of the Repugs.

So, Ms. anti-fatalist, what path propose to stop and reverse the catastrophe?

May I ask why he didn't try for reform within the DNC (like doing away with the super delegates) instead of health care (single payor) when he had the most leverage? The first is more achievable. Hillary will just promise the second but can't get it done with a Republican House.
Bernie isn't a Dem, he's a protest candidate.
Both party's establishments are basically impregnable.
He did get $15/min wage and stronger environment points into the platform, but the BigCorp-corrupted Dems blocked his attempt against TPP/TTIP .
Republicans don't have super delegates like Dems which can sway the nomination or else Trump wouldn't be about to be nominated. Dem voters probably wouldn't be able to get an outsider (non-establishment) candidate like Trump.
He sold out. He should apologize to all his fans and get on his knees in front of Lord Trump
The next best thing is getting a really progressive platform which I think he got.
It would have been counter productive if he kept stalling. If you want to change a party from the inside, you dont do it by wrecking the party itself.
Imo, it would have been political suicide for Bernie to try and force the issue. So not only does he loses, the party crumbles as well.
And at that point, what does the democratic party has left to lose? They would make sure they bury Bernie along with them.
I think they both get what they want this way. Bernie himself said he got 85% of what he wanted and called the DNC platform the most progressive platform in DNC history.
I will take his word for it.
I wish Hillary would pick someone like Warren as her running mate to solidify a progressive agenda going forward and beyond the convention.
