as if it's a bad thing -- when, really, he means any Democrat who's not on Team Bernie. In other words, Democrats like me.
Well, the Democratic establishment in general, and Nancy Pelosi in particular, is leading the fight against Trump and needs ALL of our support.
The Democratic establishment isn't threatening the end of democracy in America -- Trump is. The Democratic establishment isn't trying to slash food stamps and Medicaid so the wealthiest can pay lower taxes-- Trump is. The Democratic establishment isn't demonizing minorities -- Trump is. The Democratic establishment isn't trying to sell off our public lands to the highest bidder -- Trump is. The Democratic establishment isn't rolling back almost all environmental regulations and trying to make the planet uninhabitable -- Trump is.
It's time for Bernie and all his followers to realize who the real enemy is right now, at this moment in history.
Do we want a Democracy? Do we want a planet our children and grandchildren can live on in a few decades?
Then focus on getting Trump out of office. Quit blaming the Democratic establishment. We need a stronger Democratic establishment now, not a weaker one.
P.S. All this venting came because a Bernie ad just popped up on my Facebook page, and there he was, spouting off against Trump and the Democratic establishment in the same breath -- and asking for my money to help him do it!
P.P.S. HOW CAN WE EXPECT TO GET DEMOCRATIC MAJORITIES IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE IF WE ELECT AS THE LEADER OF OUR PARTY SOMEONE WHO CONSTANTLY ATTACKS THE DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT?
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
