re: #290 Blind Frog Belly White

I think the problem is more that he speaks of needing a political revolution, but doesn’t put his effort where his mouth is. The revolution that’s needed is the kind the GOP pulled off in 2010, where they went full bore after every position down to dog catcher, and ended up with the power to gerrymander themselves into a majority for a decade.

Imagine what we could have done, had we held onto the majority we had in 2008 after 2010.

Now imagine Bernie facing the current Congress. Some revolution.

The Class of 2010 is who is largely up for reelection this year, at least in the Senate. And they mostly got in on the same formula of portraying Obama as the second-coming of Lenin, the ACA as the greatest socialist crime to grace our shores, and promising to repeal it as soon as they could.

And now they’re up for reelection and we’re facing the possibility of the DNC having as its nominee a guy who regularly speaks his mind about thinking Obama didn’t go far enough, thinks the ACA should be replaced with single-payer healthcare, and doesn’t seem to give a shit less about how unpopular this may make the guys further down the ticket.

I’m not quite sure you could write a better doomsday scenario for the DNC.
