Sure, Hillary will help elect more Dems... like Debbie Wasserman Schultz...and Rahm Emmanuel...

[Human101948]

So imagine now the Democratic National Convention this July. Presiding over it will be, yes, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, tribune for a party of incumbency, money and crony capitalism. Follow her as she makes the rounds of private parties where zillionaire donors, lobbyists and consultants transact the real business of politics. Watch as she and Hizzoner Rahm Emanuel of Chicago greet and embrace. Then imagine those thousands of young people outside the convention hall who have arrived from long months of campaigning earnestly for reform of the party they see as an instrument of their future, as well as members of Black Lives Matter and other people of color for whom Rahm Emanuel is the incarnation of deceit and oppression.

This is why Emanuel and Wasserman Schultz must go. To millions, they are enablers of the one percent, perpetuators of the Washington mentality that the rest of the country has grown to hate. What a message such servants of plutocracy send: Democrats — a bridge to the past.

Hillary's silence on these bums speaks volumes about the type of Democratic candidates that she will be supporting.

5. He's a fucking retard...

to quote one of his favorite phrases.

What happened in 2010?

"Rahm's Beltway reputation is mostly from his record in Congress, at the DCCC, and at the White House, of fighting progressives," says Adam Green, the co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which has pitched petition after petition, fundraising appeal after fundraising appeal, on anti-Emanuel sentiment. "When was the last time Rahm actually bullied a Republican or corporate executive, forcing them to cave on a popular progressive issue? It's hard to think of a single time."

3. Yeahup.....

4. That's why they need the couple of progressives - for cover.

6. And Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor and other Third Way losers.

Bill Clinton was elected president because Mario Cuomo decided not to run. He was positioned just right between Jerry Brown and Paul Tsongas. I'm happy the Blue Dogs are out of the Democratic Party and I don't want to kowtow to the Blue Dogs for another Democratic majority. It will be most beneficial to the Democratic Party to have a majority who stand together in basic progressive philosophy. Looking out for the welfare of the American people as a whole. Considering Earth. Stripping personhood from this modern farce of corporation. Make corporations operate for the public good as they were originally chartered.

One day we'll elect a Democratic majority Congress along with 60 Real Democrats in the Senate. I sure do hope to God there's a progressive in the White House when that happens, and not some Goldman-Sachs approved player.
