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.

Have your pops watch Bernie's speech at the invitation of Dr King's family



I think we need to not focus on the POTUS candidates. The Dems have no leaders affecting the grassroots vs. the neoliberal agenda. I think Bernie has temporarily took that mantle and wants Keith and others like Turner to be organizing and being voices.

What's crazy is that Bernie is probably the only high profile national figure who is speaking MLK's language on jobs, economics, healthcare, education, foreign policy.

MLK also called himself a DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST. :whoo:

Betsy DeVos is planning to gut education and use the money for tax cuts for her billionaire friends. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. http://tytnetwork.com/go
"President-elect Donald Trump’s controversial nominee for education secretary went before a Senate committee on Tuesday, where she faced tough questions from Democrats over her efforts to expand charter schools, her family’s political influence, and her positions on guns and sexual assault on campuses.
Betsy DeVos, a billionaire from one of Michigan’s most powerful Republican families, has spent years funding “school choice” efforts in her home state and around the country. Public education advocates and teacher unions have described her as a radical choice to be the face of federal education policy.
DeVos’ vast wealth figured prominently in the hearing. Her family, which made its fortune through Amway and is worth an estimated $5 billion, has been a major funder of charter school expansion, Republican candidacies and efforts to weaken labor unions. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) asked DeVos if she would have found herself there Tuesday if she wasn’t so rich.
“If you were not a multibillionaire … do you think that you would be sitting here today?” Sanders asked.”*

MLK wanted to end poverty after civil rights were obtained. Bernie the only dude to march with the marchers and got barely any of the black vote because his last name wasn't Clinton. I really wonder what this country would be like if MLK wasn't taken from us so soon.

Probably not all that different... at the time right before his death he was an isolated figure and hated by the establishment that mocked him as irrelevant after he criticized the Vietnam War and started talking more about economic transformation.
