Establishment Democrats Admit: Fascist Take Over Happening

[thomhartmann]

Hillary Clinton is warning that a fascist take over is already underway.

This warning of a fascist take over of the United States is not coming from a radical socialist, but a middle of the road democrat.

One who is not running for president and has nothing to gain from telling us.

If even the establishment Democrats are saying that fascism is here, we have a major problem.

1. Establishment Democrats? As opposed to what exactly?

20. It never ceases to amaze me

how some politicians get pegged with the "establishment" label while others don't (even those who have held office for years). The term has lost all meaning for me.

2. H. Clinton was in the forefront of warning about the

present danger to our democracy during her campaign and after when many others claiming to be progressive were ignoring things like Russian interference in our election and had been even parroting, promoting, and widely distributing Russian false news and even making excuses for being part of the Russian propaganda outlet, RT.

Let's remember that Russian operatives were touting the campaigns of both Jill Stein and B. Sanders specifically in order to hurt the campaign of H. Clinton and keep her and democracy out of the Oval Office and instead install and normalize the fascist Trump.

Jill Stein was even a guest of Putin at the infamous Kremlin celebration of RT where she was at the same table with Putin, Peskov, and the now notorious and disgraced General Michael Flynn.

Putin does not hate the Jill Stein's; he hates Hillary
Clinton for her record on defending human rights and her willingness to oppose Putin's authoritarianism.

Lots of people claim to be revolutionaries who are merely reformers intent upon maintaining the patriarch status quo.

We need a Human Rights Hall of Shame of phony progressives and fake socialists and self-proclaimed "revolutionaries" -forbeginners I nominate Clinton-haters Jill Stein, Susan Sarandon first. Then I nominate the phony socialist Daniel Ortega who made common cause with an anti-female Catholic Church in order to create create hell on earth for women and young teen aged girls in Nicaragua.

3. You clearly weren't listening to the Democratic nominee in the fall of 2016,

or you wouldn't think this warning from HRC is something new.

Where were you during the 2016 general election...besides on RT?

4. You missed the debates? Seriously?

6. He makes me sick

[sheshe2]

7. How could anyone have missed this?!

[betsuni]

9. Some people were too busy obsessing about Hillary being paid for giving a speech.

Evidently, that was much worse than Russian interference in our election and democracy.

[sheshe2]

10. For the win!

[Cary]

13. I dunno She

I was referring to Unindicted Co-Conspirator. He makes me absolutely sick.

But this isn't Thom's best work, to be sure. It would be nice if he would follow up.

5. We "establishment democrats" have said this all along

The Democratic Party is an establishment. I prefer those of us who appreciate the value of our party to be referred to as mainstream Democrats.

Those who hate the Democratic Party and attack it and feel oppressed by the mainstream I would refer to as Republicans.

17. +1 nt

8. "Establishment Democrats" is a "both sides" insult.

That Democrats, and Hillary in particular (without any evidence), are paid by the 1% to be just like Republicans except for a few social issues. Anyone surprised that Democrats would warn of a fascist take-over believes this propaganda.

11. I find the term "Establishment Democrats"

extremely divisive. It is used by the minority fringes to make their supporters feel like they are being cheated out of rightful power.

It is extremely sanctimonious and an insult to rank and file Democrats who donate, knock on doors, make phone calls and vote in large numbers for people who belong to the party with their heart and soul.

I wonder if that term originated with RT where the OP has gigs and whose candidates the OP pushes on people to the detriment of democracy.

[Cary]

14. I take great pride in being a Democrat

I don't mind being established with them.

[ehrnst]

15. "Establishment Democrats?" That's never used in a positive way.

[NYMinute]

16. OMG .. we have RT personalities on DU?

Isn't that playing in the hands of Putin?

[Skidmore]

19. Oh, puhleeze.

Give us a break. While we were out trying to get a real leader in the WH, some on the left were helping Trump get in the WH and siding Putin's agenda. WE saw this coming. Did you? I think not. Not impressed with your false rants or labels.

[Cha]

21. You mean like "Establishment" John Lewis and the Dems who won

the Midterm BLUEWAVE so we have a Democratic House Victory since 2018, Thom?

Like those "Establishment Dems"? Yeah, the best and the Brightest Dems.. that's us.

And, what are you saying?.. ".. they "Admit it.. " Where were you in 2016 when Hillary was talking about it?
