    Who is delusional? You mean to say that the un-democratic party that actively coordinated a primary process to virtually guarantee victory for their pre-anointed choice is not "a centralized decision making process". Yes there are factions but one group clearly has the financial clout and establishment support that the other does not and therefore wields disproportionate power within the party apparatus.

    And politics is not about winning its about serving the public good. You confuse yourself into thinking that the process is all so convoluted and complicated when even a semi-literate, inarticulate, foot-in-the-mouth speaking orangutan knows that the easiest way to win is to promise to give people what they want. Dump and Sanders demonstrated that the true political power lies with the people and that Clinton's billions are worth squat when the will is there to channel that power properly.

    Which just goes to show that the Democratic party does not want votes if they come at the expense of campaign contributions. They would rather lose than promote progressive politicians (see exhibit A above). If you don't understand something so fundamentally simple you clearly need to take a step back from from your mainstream media bubble to give yourself the opportunity to think about it.

    Well, that is pretty amusing. Explains why they picked that name for the town.

    I don't even know what you're arguing. I'm not defending the Democratic Party or Clinton. Please reread the thread if you want to know my opinions on the subject. I only criticized you for your tendency to share overly emotional, poorly constructed and regurgitated talking points.

    you were in no way being constructive like most of the snowflakes around here you've resorted to petty namecalling when challenged from left field.

    Californians don't have lawns any longer.

    Or at least they're not supposed to have lawns.

    Here is what we've been missing ;)

    what?

    interesting analysis IMO, and we've already seen Corker point out this fallacy. No wonder he is quitting.

    If the Dems can't find a way to capitalize on this come 2018 (based on the nuclear fears that this guy is throwing around, we may not see a 2018 election), then it's time to disband as a party because they'll never win.

    I think it's just American short attention span. Democrats are not exempt from being idiots.

    Can you provide verifiable links other than a meme? Maybe the names of these individuals?

    Those who have been pushed out include:

    • Ray Buckley, the New Hampshire Democratic chairman and longtime DNC official who ran against Perez for chair before backing Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn. Buckley lost his spots on the Executive Committee and DNC Rules Committee.
    • James Zogby, the president of the Arab American Institute and prominent Sanders backer, is no longer co-chair of the Resolutions Committee and is off the Executive Committee, a spot he has held since 2001.
    • Alice Germond, the party’s longtime former secretary and a vocal Ellison backer, who was removed from her at-large appointment to the DNC.
    • Barbra Casbar Siperstein, who supported Ellison and Buckley, was tossed from the Executive Committee.
