Thank you for your help.

Now tell us more about those millions like you and what they got out of 2016.
Change takes time. I appreciate your view that the Democrats are adequately representing you but I don't think they represent my interests nearly well enough.

Case in point; the 8 years under Mr Obama were the scene of the greatest UPWARD redistribution of wealth in human history. I'm not a fan of that move or its consequences.

Yep, because the Democratic Party STILL hasn't taken any of the lessons of last election season to heart, they STILL haven't changed any of their processes or policies, they STILL haven't gotten rid of the Superdelegates whom they freely admit are there expressly to prevent their constituents from actually choosing the candidates.

The Democratic Party is at least as corrupt as the Republican Party. But that's cool with you because they're your team! Hypocrite.

You'll go on the attack but you never seem to have any logical arguments for why we should be Democrats?

You smear Progressives as Trumpers, just do you don't have to admit that the Democrats are totally vulnerable on their Left.

Why are the Democrats are totally vulnerable on their Left? Because they fucking abandoned their base in return for donor cash from the same wealthy individuals and corporations that fund the Republicans!

But do you ever address that? Noooooo
explain please what corrupt actions by Democratic party are you referring to? Are you equating accepting legal campaign donations to the crap going down in the form of tax breaks for the wealthy and the shit that Trump is doing?

"Give us Bernie or we'll give you Trump!"

All that shit you bitch about doesn't even affect you. You don't even have a job. Thanks to Obama though, you get to peddle that leaf trim and human hair you call weed.

President Obama, our last legally elected president, couldn't even get a middle of the road SCOTUS appointment through the senate because they wouldn't even hold a hearing.

But he was single handedly supposed to stop wealth redistribution.

How?

I can't wait to hear this, I'm sure your pathway for Obama to stop wealth redistribution (in the past) is as easy as getting progressives to win seats in red states.

Go.

"With his primary election victory last week, Illinois Congressman Dan Lipinski—a Blue Dog and cultural conservative—won the first major 2018 battle between the Democratic Party’s establishment and progressive wings.

But don’t be confused about what it means. The war is already over, and the establishment lost.

Even though only two states have actually voted so far this primary election season—Texas, a red-state redoubt, and Illinois, a blue-state stronghold—the battle for supremacy this primary season is all but complete. In state after state, the left is proving to be the animating force in Democratic primaries, producing a surge of candidates who are forcefully driving the party toward a more liberal orientation on nearly every issue.

These candidates are running on an agenda that moves the party beyond its recent comfort zone and toward single-payer health care, stricter gun control, a $15 minimum wage, more expansive LGBT rights and greater protections for immigrants."

"According to data compiled by the Brookings Institution’s Primaries Project, the number of self-identified, nonincumbent progressive candidates in Texas spiked compared with the previous two election years. This year, there were nearly four times as many progressive candidates as in 2016. Meanwhile, the number of moderate and establishment candidates remained flat for the past three elections in Texas.

Even in Illinois, where the Democratic Party holds most of the levers of power, the data tell a similar story: There were more progressive candidates this year, the Primaries Project reports, than moderate and establishment candidates, by a count of 25 to 21."

"The party’s ascendant left is coming after everybody, regardless of the outcome in Lipinski’s race. Progressive energy is pulsing through the primaries, most notably in the proliferation of Trump-backlash grass-roots groups like Indivisible, Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress that are teeming with activists inspired by Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign. There’s no comparable counterweight within the establishment."

"In Texas, a greater percentage of the progressive candidates either won or advanced to a runoff than the percentage of moderate and establishment candidates who did. In Illinois, the success rate between the wings was about equal. Five moderate or establishment candidates won their primaries, compared with three progressives."

"Yet in the historically Republican suburbs of Houston, the insurgent wing delivered an eye-opening display of its muscle. Despite the best efforts of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to torpedo activist Laura Moser—the DCCC viewed her as a less-than-viable prospective nominee in a competitive suburban Texas district—progressives rallied around her and boosted her into a May 22 Texas runoff."

Ask him why his "no Corporate money" superPAC registered as a normal PAC that can take unlimited corporate donations.

Totally wasn't an attempt at Sneekyness or anything.

I agree with your point but you can ask him that. I'm astounded at how the @ttystikk fool equated Democrats accepting legal campaign donations with the rampant pillaging Republicans are now carrying out both in Congress and the WH.

So you torture his needy little ass by questioning the hypocritical policies of Justice Democrats. I'll be satisfied with pointing out the falsehoods in his delusional rage-fueled rants against Democrats.

I hear what you're saying but the prez had to pull the economy out of the toilet and in the process the top 1% was able to capitalize on the real estate bubble bursting and benefit most from the stimulus packages. The alternative would have been a depression instead of recession which would have been good for nobody, but considerably worse for the lower/middle classes.

George W has to take most of the blame for the state of the economy when he left office and most of the massive tax cuts passed last year (even though the economy didn't need any boosting) will benefit that same 1%. Add in the spending package and those moves and consequences are going to be felt for years to come :(
