I know some may like his ideas, but do people really believe Bernie is the answer/coming to save everybody?

Cult of Sanders special dictionary entries:

Cheated = you beat me

Rigged = see cheated

Establishment Democrat = Experienced and effective liberal progressive legislator. Note: progressive is not the same as Progressive

Progressive = liberal idealist

Our Revolution candidate = see cheated

I guess Schuylaar will have to vote for Trump. Poor Bernie baby never actually voted for him.

I'm sure they stayed pure and true to their liberal ideals. That was most important.

Must be rigged. :p

For 2018 -- 2 for 22

18 for 36

Congratulations Our Revolution won half the races in which it ran candidates in liberal districts. Of the hundreds of races for state, local and national office, Our Revolution has won primaries for 18.

Does this mean I can start demanding Our Revolution should support establishment Democrats in the name of fairness and Democracy?

I'm not sure why you're having a hard time understanding the difference between actual activist political groups who gain funding through individual contributions who support progressive causes and actual sitting congressmen and women who gain funding through large corporate contributions who support establishment causes friendly to the 1%. The first group is regular people trying to get their voices heard by a deaf congress, the other is a tiny number of people trying to retain control of laws and regulations that ensure they remain in power

I'm not sure why you are having a hard time with understanding the meaning of non-government political committee.

I get that you don't like them. With that and a few bucks you can buy a beer.

Hoyer is actively funneling Democratic party money to establishment candidates, how is that "non-government"? Democrats are donating money to the DNC because they support progressive policy positions and expect their representatives in congress to represent their interests

The DCCC political committee must use campaign donations according to campaign financing laws. Are you saying they are breaking the law?

Hey, I'm happy that left-liberals won. If Our Revolution or other political committees are going to make a real difference you need to win more than half the races you compete in. Also you need to run more than 36 (40?) candidates out of the hundreds of races that have already been run for local, state and national offices and primaries.

I feel embarrassed for you that I have to point that out to you.

Campaign finance laws are designed by incumbent politicians who design campaign finance laws to benefit incumbents
