They are not Dems, nor are they even Repubs. They are a Wall St Investor Think Tank.
They don't care much about women or minorities, but that is who they use to get Dem creds. They will willingly spout 'support' for those groups, but that's all they do.
They will fight like crazy to hold on to the power they have over both parties now. So Bernie is right when he says it will take a 'political movement' of Millions of people, not just HIM or any president, to defeat them.
They are ruthless and power hungry and they promote and pay for candidates to run for office in both parties.
The old 'vote for the guy with the 'D' after their name, s/he's better than the other guy' routine worked for a while, we did it. But people are no longer fooled by them and that is why Bernie is gaining so much popularity.
They didn't choose him, WE DID this time. And we have to watch for the nasty attacks that will be coming his way and not allow them to get away with it.
You can recognize them by how they talk about 'The Left', it's a dead giveaway that they are by no means part of the Left and their surrogates who either are part of their group, or mislead by their claims to be Dems, will do a lot of the dirty work for them.
