Yesterday's Primary results.

Based on yesterday's election results, it appears the establishment still has a firm grip on the Democratic Party.
This should not stop us in our efforts to pull/drag/push the establishment to the left.
Carry on my friends, carry on!

the democratic party is center-right,centrist,corporist,and neocon.The extent they went to put down the revolt proves it.

We have already achieved a modicum of success. Did you see Hillary's speech? Took the words right out of Sanders mouth.

i refuse to watch anything she says.i was same with bush and with republicans.

yep she may give lip service in victory speechs after all the voter fraud but she means none of it.it will be on to right In Ge and if she can get past trump.

I have seen the truth of dems during this primary and i don't like it at all.

I just donated a small amount to Tim Canova. He is running against Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Florida.
You can accomplish more working inside than standing outside throwing stones.

The DNC and establishment will ensure Schultz wins just as they did in many states with Clinton.Plus i am sure with MSM they
will ensure any minority voters in her district vote for her.she does have obama and clinton's support.

Try to turn it around. The only thing we have to do to change our life is change the way we think about it.

Rather than indicating failure, the results reemphasize why we need to continue fighting for the best party we can make.
