Bernie's crusade to radically remake the Democratic Party won't work as long as he doesn't join it. The TV host noted that. If he did very dramatically and assertively join, he could have greater impact, and unite the Party behind him, as it's elder ideological genius.

However, he is highly unlikely to ever do that, he is a critic, a purity angel, a krupt duopoly ranter and not the right quality stuff for effective political party leadership.

I think Bernie and his supporters classify people primarily on economic issues. Bernie is luke warm on Ossoff, but wholeheartedly supports an economic populist for Mayor of Omaha despite the candidate's anti-abortion stance. There was an excellent segment on "AM Joy" yesterday with participants that included an NAACP official, Krystal Ball. a black Bernie supporter and Howard Dean. Ball's new book "Reversing the Apocalypse: Hijacking the Democratic Party to Save the World" argues that in order to win elections, Democrats need to focus on economics. Social issues should be in the background. Ball feels that the Democratic Party focuses too much on " white privilege" and isolates white voters. The woman from the NAACP was skeptical. The black man supporting Bernie pointed out that Democrats need to do more outreach to the black community than showing up a month before elections. The NAACP representative noted that the Sanders-Perez outreach tour has not appeared before an audience of majority minority community members to get input on the what the most loyal base of the Democratic Party wants. The segment is available at MSNBC's website. It was an interesting discussion that should be repeated to delve further into the rifts between different segments of the Democratic Party.

I hope this link to the segment works

#ScumDogMillionaire seems to be trending. Apparently related to strange brown spots in Florida (hat-tip: fake Sergej)

Trump showed us the plutocrats will no longer control government from Wall Street.

Bernie showed us 'the most progressive platform in Democratic Party history' still wasn't good enough to make him stick around. Gotta respect that.

on "pumpkin head" I just got to say I think that's too kind, I think of it as something along the lines of the French mon petit desordre chaud, it would actually be more appropriate to call Bernie that!

Pumpkin Head (nice) is heading for the 100 day mark with no legislation. His Republican Congress has to deal with the debt ceiling. Republicans don't believe in government so they have little talent to actually govern.

I liked the comment (also from Huffpost?)

JESUS, HENRY KISSINGER SOUNDED MORE EXCITED ABOUT JARED KUSHNER - Daniel Marans and Ryan Grim: “Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) endorses Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff for Congress, he told The Huffington Post on Thursday night. ‘I don’t know a whole lot about Jon. I certainly hope that he wins,’ Sanders said after a rally where he was promoting Omaha mayoral candidate Heath Mello.

Okay, enough Bernie bashing - back to pumpkin head.

Cut it out guys. PP, you're a moderator now, so you don't get to call people jerks (not that you get to anyway, but now you really don't get to).

Hal, you're over the line. Dripping contempt may not be an "insult" per se, but it's deliberately insulting. This is your warning.

In reply to Soros has done very positive

Not one word you wrote is evidence against the argument that those pushing the economic interests of the 1% have done grievous harm to our democracy. Yes, those who have innovated have been extraordinarily well-rewarded but our nation has enjoyed innovations when the wealth and income gaps were not obscene and when we were fighting poverty effectively. You apparently believe that if we don't let some people accumulate so much money that a thousand generations couldn't spend it we won't get iPhones. Odd idea and utterly at odds with the facts since Gates created M$ and Jobs created Apple when top marginal tax rates were at 70% and we did a much better job protecting American jobs.
