Y'all should have known Booker was a fraud when he tried to have his little "Obama-lite" DNC speech at the convention. On top of his phony persona as being a man of the people schtick he tries to portray on social media.

I remember people raving about how this dude got next and I almost was impressed with him, but that sh_t looking back at it was cringeworthy as hell. He's the epitome of bought and sold.

This should be a wake up call to Democrats who are progressive that these corporate neo-liberals and centrists are not your damn friend. The Democrats are too busy whining about this election when it was their fault in the first place. They should be focused on 2018 and 2020.

My dad doesn't believe me, but the democratic party is split into two different groups: the true progressives (those who support Bernie) and the bought and sold neo-liberals and corporatists (The Clintons, Booker, etc.).

Can Bernie continue at this pace for next two years, holding town halls, spreading his message while also fighting in the senate at the same time? And then go into a 2 year election cycle starting with the primaries at the age of 77-78?

I certainly hope so because I don't see anything out there but corporatist and neoliberals.

Bernie is probably in better shape than Trump :russ:

I don't think he will run but the threat of him running has to be sobering to the corporatists... he's more popular than any of the stooges they'll put up even though we're over 3.5 years out

I think the bigger task he's trying to do is activate the grassroots for 2018...

I report a lot of this stuff about the injustice within the Democratic party, especially against Bernie Sanders to my dad and he's one of those ol' school Black Democrats that don't want to hear nothing and don't want know nothing. So he attacks me for being young and then acting like I don't know what I'm talking about. I keep telling him how dirty these Democrats are and how much Bernie is more of a revolutionary than some of these older Black people who supported Bill and Hillary blindly because he fought alongside of Black people in marches and protests when Hillary was a "Goldwater Girl."

I don't mean to sound morbid, but nothing will change within the Democratic Party until a lot of these Baby Boomers and the older Generation Xers die off. They just do not get it, but want to act like they are better than Trump supporters when they just know how to dress up their ignorance better than Trump supporters. Both sides are one in the same and they don't even get it.

Even if Donald Trump doesn't last until 2020, there's absolutely no democrat that's able to bring this party back together in one piece. Besides Bernie Sanders, Biden was the last shred of hope.

Now without sounding totally bleak, IF somebody comes out within the next year who is younger than 50 years old, naturally charismatic, and able to appeal to a wide audience without pandering and being completely bought and sold by wealth and willing to attach themselves to Bernie Sanders and adopt a lot of his beliefs and policies then we might have a chance, but the Democratic establishment would have to back he or she as well. The biggest challenge is whether or not the Democratic establishment is ready to accept somebody that's unorthodox and progressive. Another challenge is finding somebody like that, but that would mean that a organic grassroots candidate would have come forward and make a name for themselves. I would've said Elizabeth Warren, but she exposed she was a progressive fraud.
