(15,435 posts)is WORSE than anything I've ever seen in any political campaign in my life. I'm a Boomer and a very long time activist. And I'm seeing a Democratic Party or at least 3/4ths of them doing things to keep Bernie from being elected that I NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE!
I'm won't be taken over by THE BODY SNATCHERS! I KNOW! That sounds really, really weird... but I don't know how else to explain what's happening.
REAL FACTS are being presented about Hillary, facts that have been around for a very long time and The Bernie Supporters are being targeted as some sort of EVIL FORCE. Friends of mine who support Bernie say they walk away scratching their heads as they've seen well known DEMOCRATS who we once thought supported THE PEOPLE or at least worked to pass legislation FOR THE PEOPLE simply go out of their way to attack him.
THEY don't want any change, they just want it to stay the same!! This is the first election in my lifetime when I've seen a Party I always supported turn on it's own like this. THIS IS NOT LIKE 2008! If Hillary is the nominee, her victory will be VERY HOLLOW!
I know people here don't believe it or think NO DAMAGE has been done, but they have blinders on. Our only way forward is to adopt NEW ideas and BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. Bernie does that, HILLARY NEVER WILL for many of us.
But so many Congress Critters and elected officials have been up front and VERY VOCAL about who they support and are doing things I NEVER thought possible. Bernie's groups ARE being mislead and directed by infiltrators and I'm sure we're going to see more of it.
I was a part of a REVOLUTION before and it got nasty, bloody and ugly. THIS TIME, it may be even worse. The question is: Do we have a BLOODLESS REVOLUTION or a BLOODY one? I don't think THIS Democratic Party has yet understood how very angry we are!
It really is breaking my heart! I feel so BETRAYED!
