We’re in agreement here. The DNC is trying to tell them how it is, they way they’ve always done. But it’s a big class of freshmen who seem to still be in touch with the actual people they represent and got to where they are on some bold promises. All I’m saying is, I hope they stay true to those promises despite what the establishment tries to push them into.

We’ve seen plenty fail at it, but there seems to be a bit more energy than usual right now, and there are a lot of freshmen, so maybe something can actually change. Just maybe.

enough of them got hurt badly enough in the wallet

This is the point we have to remember, always. It wasn’t the corruption, or the incompetence, or the cruelty, or the damage to so many lives, or the straight up murder that turned them against him. It was simply the fact that none of it was benefiting them personally.

You may be right, but this time could also be different. There’s a whole crop of energetic newcomers who seem to understand that people are tired of the same old bullshit. I wouldn’t bet the farm on it going either way, but there’s no harm in hoping.

It is a good sign that a newcomer is broadcasting how the sausage is made rather than falling into line. I hope all these newly elected dems support each other and hold the line against the establishment.
