(55,981 posts)That isn't the battle. It's an easy division and easy to see why people choose that division but it's not correct. The war is between the progressives and the conservatives. While all the Republicons are conservative, not all Democrats are progressive. It's the damn conservatives in our party that bring us cheating, big money corruption, and election fraud.
Sanders and Warren are progressive and on the opposite side of the war from Clinton, Obama, Goldman-Sachs and the Koch Bros.
Guess which side lies, cheats, and steals elections?

(39,215 posts)remember watching a Democratic National Convention where one of the southern states had a floor fight over which group of delegates were going to be seated: the white delegation or the black delegation. Don't know the whole story behind that but the black delegation was seated and the white one was very angry.
