Here is why they need us Bernie supporters. [View all]

As Hillary's numbers approach Trump's numbers, the powers that be in the dem party remain confident about their chances in the GE because they count on us progressives and a lot of independents dragging our tails to the polls to vote for the lesser of two evils. However, this time Debbie Wasserman-Schulz has been particularly ugly about how we should not be allowed representation in the dem party--all lifelong dem supporters and voters. Reliable voters. She has been vile. Think about it: Bernie's supporters are young. Hillary's supporters are old. In 2020 and 2024 we will be the majority. I will probably be dead before there is a candidate I can get excited about again. The voter suppression has hurt my feelings. I am soon to be 70 years old.
