2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumYesterday'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!

(5,066 posts)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.

(2,949 posts)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.
Robbins
(5,066 posts)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.
