In reply to the discussion: OK I'll just say it: the dem establishment wants to lose this election [View all]restorefreedom
(12,655 posts)i am talking about corporate party bosses who would rather see the election go to a r than a very progressive lib who will stop the money rule.
hillary entered as a lone candidate and the "presumptive" nominee whose initial polling was based large on name rec. now that she is in a real contest she is slipping.
bernie not getting endorsements from the very people who stand to lose a lot from his presidency does not surprise me...it tells he is on the right track. and i purposely did not suggest a conspiracy..just a suggestion that the establishment REALLY does not want bernie or om in the wh.
as to who votes for whom and when...many bernie supporters believe that a vote for hillary is a vote for the status quo and would be indistinguishable from a vote for an r and would rather stay home than hold their nose, again, and vote for a corporate centrist who is likely to support wall street and get us into another war.
but i didn't post this to impune supporters for any candidate, but rather hint at the corporate corruption and collusion that exists in the intersection of political parties and big money donors.
even though i disagree with you, i do appreciate your thoughtful response
