Weak Democrats Try To Silence Bernie Sanders

[GoLeft TV]

Third Way, the centrist Democratic Think Tank, believes that Bernie Sanders is taking the Party too far to the left, and they’ve introduced a string of policy proposals for the Democrats as we head into 2016 that take a more moderate (conservative) tone. They are trying to silence a candidate that the public seems to love, and this will cost Democrats a lot of support next year and in the future.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

2. Third Way/DLC politics is the reason why.....

We have a rethug congress.
Their policies are the reason why people don't show up to vote.

3. ^^^This!^^^

Third Way has really been raising it's ugly head.

They must have thought that they had this whole election sewn up tight...BUT, then came Bernie and millions of supporters.

It's thrown their shit in a spin...

11. Dammit all

What's the point of having two parties if they're BOTH right of center?

The 2014 results should have made it clear that Republican-lite doesn't win elections.

4. I remember when we got to choose who we wanted.

Now it's being forced upon us.

I don't think I blinked?

The system is severely broken and rigged.

6. This reflects what I am hearing and seeing on the street.

Millennials, the young, are all for Bernie.

7. Conduct your own unscientific pole, here's how.

On a large 2 foot by 3 foot foam board write

HONK
FOR
BERNIE

Go to a busy intersection and hold the sign up high so the drivers can read it.

A couple of things will happen, it might get loud with horns honking and others will realize how many supporters he has.

Now is the time for a real progressive populist movement, but the message needs to be clear and not overly complex and it needs to be repeated over and over to drive it home into the minds of the people.

Then Bernie will win.

8. OH No! Not the truth! That is so last-week.

Hillary has already won both the Primary and the GE. Didn't you get the memo yet?

9. What did you expect? IWW members who left and joined with the AF of L

in the last century said they were trying to change things from the inside. They were told, by Mother Jones among others, that the business unions and the AF of L were turncoats and could not be trusted, that they were extensions of business and operated for their benefit. That is precisely what happened.

Those members, not always intentionally, wound up helping destroy their former friends and allies in the IWW, and were co-opted by the business unions.

That is partly how we got to where we are today.

This is no different, and will have the same result. You will protest, "Not true!." They did back then too
