Does anybody else feel the extraordinary irony that people

[BigBearJohn]

on a website named Democratic UNDERGROUND would so vigorously support such a blatantly ESTABLISHMENT candidate as Hillary? It boggles the mind.

What a world...

1. damn right and RUDELY!

[LiberalElite]

2. I only joined in

Oct. 2012 and the "Underground" part seemed to me to be, uh, a bit of an overstatement even then.

5. Things changed after Bush finally left the White House

8. I joined in 2005

I know longer recognize this site nor my party for that matter.

12. Same here

I cast my first vote back in the '70s, and celebrated all night when the Dems retook the Senate in '86. That victory was supposed to have been a major repudiation of Reaganism, but the party actually seems to have embraced it.

20. or been "bought" by it. nt

3. the term has been usurped, just like the term "progressive". It doesn't mean what it used to mean.

4. I feel your pain.. Take 2 valium and let the brain reset itself. It kind of takes away the name that

a site that opposes the Democratic Party LLC would want to use.

7. I am taking two martinis and watching Game of Thrones. nm

9. I may have to turn on HBO again, I am going through GOT withdrawal

6. Once upon a time we were all united against the Bush Admin and the Oligarchy that supported it.

We were all against Citizens United, Big Money Fat Cats control of our government, Corp-Media, etc.

Then the Oligarchy got wise and bought and paid for the control of our Party. They backed the conservative (Third Way/old DLC) Wing of our Party and divided the Party. Now the Conservative/Clinton Wing embrace Big Money Fat Cats, Citizens United and the Corp-Media. Now to be true to our name we should be Democratic Underground fighting the Oligarchy and their choosen, Hillary Clinton. Just one problem and now the name seems somehow inappropriate. Maybe is will be changed to Democratic Establishment.

10. Well said Rhett O Rick!

[BigBearJohn]

13. LMAO

[Duval]

16. Like that idea, rhett o rick!

May as well!

[winter is coming]

17. I find it ironic that the behavior we despised when W was in office

is somehow excusable when a Dem does it.

[rhett o rick]

18. Yes some have simplified things so much, all they have to do is look for the (D)

and they are happy. Don't ask them about issues.

[Art_from_Ark]

22. Putting a "D" after a lot of politician's names

is like putting Louis Vuitton's name on a bath towel.

[Triana]

11. Yep. n/t

[highprincipleswork]

14. It is both ironic and sad, particularly in a year that seems designed for something new.

Of course, I'm holding out in my prayers for Hillary actually surprising us all and running as a Progressive and evolving into the greatest Liberal President since FDR.

Like I say, in my prayers. Could happen. And I believe would happen if she and the party leaders realize what time we are in and what the people are ready for.

By the way, it's not the 90's.

[BigBearJohn]

15. Excellent point!!!

[silvershadow]

19. By design?

[hopemountain]

21. i was just over reading at the reddit

bernie sanders 2016 forum and i am amazed at the number of postings and links to articles by people who are admonishing and chastising the bernie supporters for the nevada democratic party's disenfranchisement of bernie supporters. and not one person over there was calling them on it.

23. Bought and Paid For

Both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have been bought and paid for by the largest corporations.

Anyone making under $X per year and supporting the status quo is by definition an unwitting stooge for the .01%.

"He just supports people. That's humanity at its finest. That's the kind of president that I want." Bernie.
