What's The Correct Way Forward For Progressives?

[londonfog]

Wrong.
Ron Paul is the most popular candidate ever.
Ron Paul won every online poll he was in.

this is true. I saw it online. Ron Paul owns RIU and turtle fucking

He's always run as an independent in Vermont's senatorial contest. Not the same as a presidential run. He also hasn't announced intentions for 2020 prez race.

My point is if he is running Independent, then his supporters have there answer to which party. In short....stay out the Dems race

True, that

I'd be happy if Democrats held closed primaries from now on as well.

Start that third party already. Go on kids, move out and learn to compete in the larger world. Indulgent Democrats are spoiling you.

Honesty within a system which originates from contradiction (presumed consent) will gain you what ?

That sounds a lot like asking thieves to be honest when they divvy up their stolen goods. It misses the point.

So do you.

How much you want to bet if Sanders runs he accepts not only corporate donations but Donations from the RNC as well.

Both. Either the Democratic Party pulls its head out of its ass or the Progressives overwhelm it. No downsides.

Democratic Party has no intention of eliminating super delegates;

Debbie Wasserman Schultz herself accidently spoke the truth about their purpose;

Former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a February 2016 interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, “Unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don’t have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists.” This sentiment is in line with what DNC Attorneys argued in a federal court earlier this year that the Democratic Party is well within their rights to “go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way.”

And yet @UncleBuck would have us believe this is democracy at work.

It's time for a third party, if only to show the Democratic Party that they cannot win without listening to the People. In other words, if they ignore the will of the People, the People will ignore them. THAT'S democracy in action.

Why would you ever think such a thing?

So you think black people got Trump elected to send Clinton a message?

Anybody notice that there's currently a massive split in the republican party right now?

Thanks, Trump

Of course there is, between establishment Democrats and progressives. A party changing split. Do you deny that?

Why did you add the snide remark at the end of that post? I thought you were a grown man.

Yes. You blow it all out of proportion. It's more like a small faction of disappointed Bernie fans.

Do you deny whining for the last 18 months about Bernie?

And making irrational excuses for losing the primaries?

Did you lose by a point or 2?

Or more like 15%?

I do.

You guys are the ones who take it personally, scream foul and like posts from repubIican racist assholes.

You figure that's helping the liberal cause?

[Rob Roy]

[Rob Roy]

Hey that wasn't very nice.

I can be as polite to you as you are to me.
