The party establishment has shat on the liberal wing for 25 years. Many of us are walking.

...with the DWS wing of the party anyway.

IF, and it's a big IF, Hillary has to drop out for some reason, the ONLY choice then will be Bernie. Anything else and the party can kiss millennials Good-Bye for a generation or more. Not to mention the rest of us Bernie supporters. But writing off the millennials would be a screw-up of epic proportions. Not that I would put it past DWS and the rest of that contingent.

With "Anyone but Bernie."

Bernie would be the beginning of handing the country back to the middle class. The Supra Nobility and all their noblesse oblige would no longer have a say in things. And sure, their individual fortunes have all been made by this point in time. Yet...

For instance, I mean, should DWS never ever work the political game again in her life as an elected official, she would still be able to be a lobbyist for life.

Certainly lobbyists never worry about choosing between meds and utilities or food and help with college tuition for the kids.

But as George Orwell suggested countless times, it is not simply that the Predatory Class wishes to have good things for themselves. It is that they delight in others not having a thing.

I forgot all about her!

Wikipedia...

"Harman did not run for the 106th United States Congress in 1998, instead entering the 1998 California gubernatorial race. It was during that race that she was called "the best Republican in the Democratic Party".[8]"
