There was a very interesting article in The Hill this morning talking about the fact that
establishment-type Democrats, both campaign strategists, Democratic advisors, sitting
politicians, everybody like that, those establishment types, are actually open to the idea of letting
Bernie Sanders come in and help steer the party forward, but as the article continues,
it becomes clear that these people who are suddenly warming up to Bernie Sanders aren't
doing it because they want to embrace his policies.
Instead, they want to embrace his popularity.
They don't understand that the reason Bernie Sanders is popular, is the most popular politician
in the United States, it's not because his name is Bernie Sanders or he looks like everybody's
grandfather.
It's because he is out there advocating for policies that actually help people, something
the Democratic Party actually used to stand for.
You know, 15, 20 years ago, maybe even a little bit before that, we wouldn't even be having
this discussion today.
The Democratic Party, back before Bill Clinton was elected and we let these new way Democrats,
the DLC come in and push the party further to the center, borderline to the right, and
it was at that point that the party stopped caring about average people, about the middle
class, about the underclass.
They started only caring for the 1% just like the Republican Party.
Then, after Citizens United, you'll notice a trend that happened, and this is really
interesting.
Before Citizens United, the top donor group to the Democratic Party was trial lawyers,
people who go out there every day and take on massive corporations to fight for injured
victims in the United States.
After Citizens United, the top donor to the Democratic Party is Wall Street banks.
The Democrats think that they can have it both ways.
They think that they can embrace Bernie Sanders the politician but not his ideas.
Instead, they want to embrace the politician while still taking money from Wall Street
banks and corporations.
That is not a winning strategy.
That's not a winning combination, and it goes against all the things that Bernie Sanders
is out there advocating for, because guess what?
His policies aren't going to be super great for corporations.
They're going to make corporations have to cough up just a little bit more money every
year.
Now, don't worry.
They're still going to make their multi-billion dollar profits, but those profits are going
to go down slightly.
You know why?
Because we need universal healthcare in the United States.
We need debt-free college education.
We need investments into our infrastructure.
We need to protect our environment.
Those things cost money, and the corporations who currently aren't paying taxes or aren't
paying their fair share in taxes, like the top 1%, those are the people who are going
to have to cough up a little bit more to make this country great again.
See, we can make America great again, but not with the policies of Donald Trump and
not with the policies of the Democratic Party or the Republican Party.
We need to listen to people like Bernie Sanders.
There is a reason he is so popular.
Again, the Democratic Party, these strategists who are now warming up to the idea of, "Bring
him on in.
Let's listen to him," they don't care about his policies.
They want his email lists.
They want to use his podcast that he's starting.
They want to bring in all these new Democratic voters and then convince them that they don't
actually want the things that Bernie Sanders is talking about.
They don't want debt-free college education.
They want to give corporations tax breaks, but it's not going
to work.
