The Death of the Democratic party: One woman's quest for power, another's quest for....

....I have no idea? The approval of HRC?





?1440940467

Something is unraveling right now in the Democratic Party. Come November, it could cost them the White House.

For decades, the "Get Out the Vote" campaigns and voter registration drives have been driven by liberals. The logic is this: the bulk of unregistered voters in the United States have Democratic leanings. The more people who are registered and the more people who vote increases the likelihood that Democratic candidates will win.

College campuses and youth events are gold mines for unregistered voters. In previous presidential elections, you couldn't step foot on a college campus or go to a concert in the country without being hounded to register.

But it doesn’t seem to be a priority this year, and I can’t help but to think that party leaders don’t mind.

It's a shame that's not her message now.

It's Bernie's.

Shame.

It's all about feathering their nests, and protecting the nests they've feathered.

and her all-in-for-Hillary, scorched-earth, party-destroying mentality, what will you tell us? What will you tell us when we have permanent, jury-rigged, all-republicon control of government, the result of doing anything and everything to get Hillary elected?

The Sanders platform of making college available to working families, real world regulation of Wall Street, meaningful substantive health care reform, and so on...elicit right wing nut job criticisms from the old generations of "Democrats."

That Boomers aren't doing it to be malicious or greedy. They're just very scared and very ignorant.

For some it may be a different party than in the past, but no where near dead. And it's unlikely that it will die anytime soon.
