In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders is no spoiler: He’s trying to cure centrist complacency plaguing Democratic Party [View all]bjobotts
(9,141 posts)The Democratic Leadership Council or Committee allowed in the lobbyists for the Banks and wall street as a means to get funding and donations pushing the dem party to slowly supplant the republican party as the party of Wall street. Rather than depend of the unions (which were decreasing due to unfavorable legislation making it easier to break them up) as well as trial lawyers (down for the same reasons). The party needs to return to being the party of the middle class, the working poor and minorities. To regulate Wall street and break up the too big to fail banks. Never compare progressivism to the tea party as they are opposites. Hillary is starting to pay attention to this populist movement and this political revolution which merely means paying attention to what the people want and not what big money wants.
