My biggest problem with Sanders however is that he’s basically doing nothing for Democratic down-ticket races. How the fuck does he think he’s going to be able to govern without even trying to expand his coattails?

Talking to his supporters is seems to be all about exploiting people’s righteous anger to elect a President that will lead from the top down. Isn’t this the exact opposite of how a grass roots movement is supposed to enact its agenda?

Say what you will about the Tea Party and how badly its death eating supporters have fucked up so much of red state America, it managed to have so much influence by focusing on State and local races.
