“Bernie Sanders was never a Democrat.” is a common Clinton supporter refrain, as to why any imaginable malfeasance committed by the DNC was justified. Let me explain why Y'all got it wrong. Here's the painful truth: the Wall Street captured DNC & Democratic establishment actually don't want people voting Democrat. It's plain to see in not only the latest Donna Brazile episode, but also in the fact that they don't care to run a 50 state strategy. Why? Simple - just look at the election map. There are islands of blue in a sea of red. The only 'majority' that Democrats can possibly win consists of a lot of candidates in the very same deep red, rural conservative states and districts. In other words, any time Democrats had and will have a majority - their majority consists of a lot Democrats who are only barely different from Republicans at best, especially when it comes to selling America out to Wall Street in backroom deals. Wall Street knows this. The DNC knows this, The Dem establishment knows this. As long as Wall Street dollars prop up the party in exchange for Democratic establishmentarians to just sit back and let their lobbyists write the bills, there is no incentive for the Democratic Party to ever change their messaging or agenda. Or even inspire people to show up and vote Democrat during midterm elections. Any such populist messaging would be anathema to the Wall Street corporate agenda. The Republican candidate who defeats any of the red state Blue Dog conservative Democrat is equally as likely to support the Wall Street agenda, and may even be funded by the same donors. So why bother with a 50 state strategy? Just focus on electing presidents. That is by design. And that's why the Democratic establishment and the DNC acts the way it does, three decades and counting. Debbie Wasserman Schulz is a Liebermanesque traitor who fundraises for Republicans and helps campaign for Republicans in Florida. The Clintons are old longtime buddies with Bushes and Henry Kissinger and a long list of GOP neoconservatives and have been supporting neoliberal Republican ideas and signing their bills without a fight since the last three decades. Even Obama caught the neoliberal virus with his craven support for Hillary Clinton's TPP against his own party, with the GOP supporting it along a party line vote. The Clintons are the ones who killed the Democratic Party, bottom line. Face it - they're conservatives from deep read Arkansas, a former Confederate state that elected Mike freakin Huckabee afterwards and never turned blue again. They're Dixiecrat descendents who would have never won if it weren't for special circumstances (Ross Perot), like Jimmy Carter (Watergate). If you'd take your cult of personality worshipping blinders off for a minute y'all would see that. Bernie tried to save the Democratic Party by attacking the very root of all that was aforementioned — he made campaign finance reform his primary focus and constant refrain. Get Wall Street money out of the Democratic Party, and the populist messaging and enthusiasm for voting Democrat will return. It’s that simple. Some people may have tired of Bernie endlessly repeating this fact on the stump, but it truly was the heart of the matter. Bernie has been caucusing and fundraising for Democrats his entire political career, never supported the GOP agenda, and is now trying to get people to vote Democrat and progress in every way the Clintons have failed for three decades. So when anyone screams 'Bernie is not a Democrat' all I'm hearing is 'I'm the reason why the Democratic Party died'. If you still have a hard time understanding this point, read my diaries. Or read this background. Why the Democratic Party Acts The Way It Does P.S. The DNC owes Bernie Sanders and all Dems an apology
