As if they’re trying to outdo the GOP crackup:
I agree w/ Michelle Alexander. We should form our own progressive party. In fact, it has already started. https://t.co/E6Z8KTM7ym

These folks are ignorant of the opportunity presented by the GOP self-immolation over being the racist/misogynist/bigoted party, and figure it’s time to cause a split with Democrats? Seriously? And they think that they’ll get more accomplished despite not spending money on down-ticket races, who are critical for any president passing their agenda through Congress.
As currently constituted, Congress will block anything either Hillary or Bernie proposes. But Hillary’s actually trying to raise money to retake Congress from the GOP, while Bernie’s been pretty absent from those efforts. That’s a big reason why superdelegates aren’t jumping to Bernie. Why would they? What kind of support is Bernie given them, or will give them?
Is Hillary the perfect candidate? Nope. She doesn’t have to be. She just has to be a better candidate than any of the GOPers and she’s already shown herself to be a better candidate than Bernie (winning more delegates, more popular votes, and more supers is testament to that).
