The democrat party needs to listen up and take this criticism to heart. Not only are non-voters and 3rd party voters usually more informed, they are not gonna vote for the "lesser evil" person either. Keep on shaming us and blaming us for your failures all you like though, we arent the ones that are losing our minds when our pick loses. We all know its two parties with the same goals, corporate hand outs paid for by the labor of the poor and working. Keep on saying it was the white racist and sexists that costed Hillary the election even though it many places like Milwaukee it was the black vote that cost her the election.

Yes but also voters need to get of their asses and vote in every election! 40% voting in off year and 65% in presidential are a disaster for our democracy

I see little difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican. Both parties are bought and paid for by the special interests and the billionaires who own them. Choosing the lesser of two evils is still evil!

Sorry - Not buying it at all. Pretty obvious evidence it didn't work in 2016. Get with the program or continue to suffer under idiots like Trump and the Republican fools who don't understand they are now owned ...

The establishment Democrats are little better than the Republicans. I predict that Sen. Bernie Sanders will make another bid for the presidency in 2020 and I also predict that the leaders of the Democratic Party will do everything in their power to marginalize his campaign and discredit his supporters, just like they did in 2016. The DNC, the DCCC and the like do NOT want progressive Democrats running and winning. And there's a ton of evidence to prove as much.

Let’s start with the Democratic Party. Democrat Party is a term promoted by Republican “wordsmith” Frank Luntz to denigrate the Democrats.

You all need a third or fourth party to even stand a hope of coming out with progressive legislation. you are polarized meaning you are stuck. not good in a world that is moving quite quickly. tackle how your schools are funded and your judges chosen and MAYBE you'll smell less rank in 20 years time

The voters may also feel entitled to their own exquisitely unique version of the Democratic Party. If that happens, if the Democrats function as efficiently as the Polish Diet used to work out in the Middle Ages, when every knight had total veto power over the choice of a leader, watch out! They’re gonna get four more years of existentially uncertain rule by the Bully in Chief or his next of kin/successor.

Greenwald is absurd. His claim to fame is passing Russian hacked DNC emails. He said it, Republicans will do anything to win elections. Discouraging people from voting is one way to do it,

Marz:
No, Greenwald's claim to fame was informing the public that the government was conducting illegal mass surveillance. Doing this during the Obama presidency, when a record number of journalists were charged as spies and a record number of whistle-blowers were also prosecuted. He has far more courage and integrity than the entire Democratic party combined.
Errr, that's factually wrong. It would be irrelevant if true.
We never really understood the tendency to attack the person as opposed to the idea.
@jorj Where did he get this info? Perhaps there is a link. Snowden is in Russia. If it quacks, it might be a duck. The Russians are still more than a little pissed about the fall of the USSR. Why shouldn't they be? America's Military Complex Oligarchs made sure of that. There is also another theme here - Putin is probably the richest man in the world and he has a bunch of other Russian billionaires backing him. They would like nothing more than to topple our cartel and be top dog - you know the Ruble as the reserve currency, etc because those rich fucks never get enough. So who the fuck is Greenwald? - a fucking patsy. There is a lot of shit going on here - nothing is simple.
@jorj I don't recall Obama fawning over the Saudis like Bush and his Daddy did though. [theguardian.com]
@jorj 1. Yes, he could have let it expire, but Republicans held both houses so you know they would have come up with something even worse. 2. GW did $30B, Obama $115B and Trump $300B. 3. Obama did a good job bringing the country out of the recession caused b the Republicans.. He had reduced deficit spending to near $500B, down from over $1T when he took office. Trump has jacked it up to over $1.3T again with his new make the richer richer tax plan. Obama took a serious, no bragging approach to national security, very unlike that Trump ahole
The Democratic Party is ass backward. DCCC supports Republicans over progressive Democrats and the DNC is filing a bullshit lawsuit against corruption without seeing the irony.
Still waiting for the Democratic Party to become pro-worker, anti-war, pro-healthcare, and anti-fossil fuels.
