So They Don't Know How to 'Handle' Us Bernie Bros and Held A Meeting To Discuss It??
To the Democratic Party's Corporate Controlled Tools, We The People are NOT important other than to 'get in line' and do as expected, hold your nose if you must, BUT DAMMIT VOTE FOR THEIR CHOICE FOR YOU.

That choice is Hillary Clinton and you better get in line and do what they tell you to do or else!

Something they didn't anticipate is happening this time, things aren't working out as planned.

So they HELD A CLOSED DOOR MEETING to try to figure out HOW TO 'HANDLE' you, me and Sen. Sanders!

Are they for REAL? Do they really not GET IT YET?

Here, read it for yourselves:

http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/280445-how-senate-democrats-are-trying-to-deal-with-sanders


Senate Democrats discussed how to handle Bernie Sanders and his supporters at a private caucus meeting on Tuesday.

The lawmakers met in a closed-door session days after Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) was shouted down at the Nevada Democratic convention, an incident that shook Democrats and raised fears about a chaotic fight at the party’s upcoming national convention that might cost the party the White House.

See, you need to be HANDLED by THEM??? Adults, doctors, lawyers, teachers, parents, nurses, Union Workers, Veterans, YOU ALL ARE NOTHING to these privileged, sold out hacks we once thought were on our side.

All you are are something that NEEDS TO BE HANDLED so that they can FORCE you all to vote for one of the worst candidates ever to be presented to us?

She's under a Criminal Investigation by the FBI and the DOJ, she's LOSING to Trump, Bernie just DEFEATED her in yet another state, tied in one she won overwhelmingly in 2008 and WE ARE THE ONES who need to be HANDLED?

Are they insane, is there something in their water? Who ARE these people?

Read the whole thing, but be prepared to be angry that the party most of us supported for so long has so BETRAYED us for a candidate who may end up being indicted, insulting our intelligence, slamming one of the most decent politicians we are ever likely to see in our lifetimes.

I need no 'handling' by sold out corporate tools.

Remember Joe Liebermann? Read that article and then think of Lieberman and how they 'handled' that traitor.

I think our entire Party has gone insane. The only sane person I see in this race is Bernie Sanders and his millions of Supporters.



They are circling the wagons, the Wall St funded servants of the Oligarchs. And they are flummoxed that we the people simply won't get in line behind their neocon, war-mongering, corrupt candidate who obviously their REAL bosses have told them is who they need to support.

And the more they behave this way, the more they PROVE how much we need Bernie Sanders.

Are they NUTS? Have they really been in DC so long they forgot that our votes do NOT belong to them?



We to them are NOT PEOPLE, millions of us to them are simply an UNRULY bunch of pests who are getting in the way of their PLANS. Not for US but for HER.

I have a message for them. Bernie Sanders is NOT their problem.

WE THE PEOPLE are their problem

We will never, ever support their horrific choice for this election, NEVER.

Bernie can BEG, PLEAD if he wants, it will have ZERO effect on his supporters because it isn't about HIM, it's about THEM.

Damn, I don't think I've ever been this angry not even when we were trying to get rid of Bush. At least HE did not betray us, we expected nothing of him.

THEY have betrayed Democrats and they should be ashamed of themselves.

This, for the most part captures how I feel at this time. For the first time in my life I don't feel that the Democratic party, the party of my Father has any concerns about me.


Bernie isn't their problem nor are his supporters their problem . I think we just want and deserve more than they are willing to give us. They need to work on what they need to give the people, as Democrats.

1. Wow, my dear Autumn.

I am so glad that your friend wrote this and gave you permission to bring it to us. It is so very well-written.

She has captured so very eloquently our anger and given the reasons for it, also very eloquently.

Thank you! And please tell her how much we all appreciate what she's said.

2. They do not force us to vote yet, but they do indeed control what the voting machines say the

voting people want. Whether we want a certain candidate or not.

3. Excellent post! They're not just pushing us out of the way, they are antagonizing us while doing so.

4. Progressives and Wall Street casino capitalism don't mix.

The establishment Democrats like Wall Street, think $250,000 paid speeches and pay day loan sharks. We're the old Party-they want us to go away or just focus on social issues (that don't affect their bottom line). Maybe it has to get really bad before more Democrats wake up to what is going on.

5. Thank you for this.

I, for one, will never again vote for the lesser of two evils. If Bernie is not the nominee, it's impossible to hope he can influence the party platform enough to matter. Hillary and the corporatists will win, nothing will get better, and many things will get worse. The working classes are deemed completely irrelevant, and the middle class is rapidly going away.

Hillary can win in November without my one vote. Or lose, likewise without my one vote.

6. like I say, they treat us as a baby who's gotten their hands on a lighter

smack it outta their hand and console 'em later

My mother always said that I was "hard to handle".
She was right.

8. No, I don't think they are 'insane'. But, they are threatened, and that's given them anxiety

which -is- an available as a diagnosis, and anxiety may trigger other emotional and behavioral dysfunction that might be symptomatic...

But, let's just say they feel threatened.

From this you can gather that they aren't ignoring or laughing at us anymore, and the struggle that they are in has knocked down the confidence they had about winning the fight against us. That fight has made them see themselves as them, and it's made us see we are us. Collectively we see each other as being separated opponents. Classic us vs them.

When people are threatened they don't like it and they'll make an effort to reduce the anxiety associated with it. That's what has happened their group sees us as outside their group. In that status 'we' are dangersous to them, in our out-group role we can be painted as capable of all manner of trouble for them.

10. They only respect concentrated power, not diffuse populism

I further expect that even if Clinton gets elected, the backlash against Democrats will be intensified as the middle class plummets.

If Trump gets in, he's probably going to start throwing people overboard into the "shark tank" to give white men the illusion that they are being helped.

Sanders was positioned to be able to restore common man's belief that government can work for them, to counteract the thirty years of think tank indoctrination that admires the wealthy "who give us the jobs!" and blames the victims of a rigged economy.
