The DNC is already starting with the "shut up and get in line” rhetoric.
I guess giving liberals a made up position was supposed to be our command to do as we’re told and vote for whatever corporate shill they prop up for us.
**** that, not good enough. Isn’t that what they used to tell Bernie and his supporters?
Plenty of predictable responses; Manny’s primitives aren’t going to get in line.
Well, well.

It was with much unanticipated relief that I watched as the Democrat party has survived to fight another day, in their rejection of a rabid wild-eyed extremist to head the party, in favor of someone else while also a far-left extremist, more in tune with the American public.
I’d feared that the Democrat party, known for its obsequious kowtowing to special interests, would spinelessly give in and select the candidate the favorite of Manny’s primitives, despite that his selection would inevitably shift the party even further wacko left, making it even more unpalatable to the public.
I had no dog in this fight. However, while I love the Republican party with a passion, with an intensity, I love even more the idea (and sometime occurrence) of a strongly-competitive two-party system, which tends to keep politics honest; one need only look at states where the Democrat party alone exists—Massachusetts, Maryland, California,
et cetera--to see what a sordid, squalid mess that makes.
So yeah, the two-party system’s vitally important
What would the regular establishment professional Democrats hope to get from the supporters of the sourassed old sourpuss, if they’d named his candidate head of the party? I’m guessing they expected they’d get some loyalty and enthusiasm for
all Democrat candidates, not just the fringe ones, from it.
Yeah, sure, they would’ve gotten that, from Manny’s primitives and those associated with them.
Sure.
Remember, the gimme crowd, the Bernie Sanders groupies only take; they don’t give a damned thing.

So now, what’s the Democrat party to do?
Ever since the Democrat presidential primaries ended last year, I’ve never in my life seen a group of people so eager, so anxious, so willing to go halfway and mend fences, as the regular establishment professional Democrats have.
Even the coarse crude savage barbaric bad-mannered primitives on Skins’s island have always made it pretty clear they’d welcome their exiles back there with open arms, all having been forgiven and forgotten.
So as to save the Democrat party from utter fragmentation, I’ve recommended they all reconcile; if they wish to win elections, they’ll
have to. Myself a Republican, I don’t suppose I should be overly concerned about the impending implosion of the other party, but while I love the Republican party, I like the idea of a strong competitive two-party system even more.
It’s been suggested here that as things are evolving, the Democrat party crumbling to pieces, a new two-party system is emerging, establishment Republicans and anti-establishment Republicans. That might, or might not, be right. Only time will tell, and until they finally start acting grown up, the Democrats don’t have much time left.
And if that happens, remember, it was the supporters of the old sourassed sourpuss who started it.
