Really just yelling the quiet part to the nosebleeds, aren’t they?
It was never about helping their constituents. The moment someone outside of their inner circle becomes popular, the facade drops and it’s all about voting ‘correctly’ and the popular person ‘stealing’ the vote.
At least they pretended to not be vicious ghouls who don’t care about actual humans when they skipped over Bernie to hand the election to Trump.
You already did, by refusing to listen to constituents. They’ve taken over, and that’s good.
"...Let them take over the party?"
We ARE the party. We've been the party.
Imbeciles.
"Are we going to let them take over the party?"
They fuggen better
They don't have a choice. They are part of the machinery at this point.
Democratic elections happening and selecting candidates that aren't from your carefully prepared inner circle? Unbelievable! It was the their turn?!!
Guards!! GUARDS!!!
Let them take over? You must not be familiar with how a republic works.
They let Trump take over the country...
People who voted for Trump or chose not to vote let Trump take over the country.
Agreed. Them, too.
And Chuck helped in the name of Israel
Ideally? Yes! This needed to happen when the Tea Party took over the Republicans, it's long overdue!
Lmao no you stupid idiots, you killed the party through years of hard work.
Lack thereof.
Watch there be a record low voter turn out this year as moderates don't want to vote for communists and left-wings are upset because the progressive candidate in general isn't the exact flavor of manic socialist dream politician that they wanted.
It's almost like the 2 party system in the US garbage
Yeah you have a party that actively hates us, our friends, our country and democracy itself and another one that isn't perfect so let's burn down the whole motherfucker right?
It would be pretty absurd for centrists to see that choice and refuse to vote for the not perfect party, wouldn't it?
That's the comeuppance your first comment was fantasizing about isn't it?
I wasn't dreaming of any comeuppance.
