“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Sanders said.

“First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”

“Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?” Sanders asked.

“Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? Probably not.”

      Still upset she moved up in positioning in the party. Genuinely feels like she cheated and won with zero consequences.

        She’s probably on AIPAC payroll. Can’t upset America’s boss.

            geez you weren’t kidding

            Several other Democrats who voted to censure Tlaib were among the top recipients of AIPAC funds in November, including Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz ($141,058) (link)

            and that was in January. If it’s any consolation, the evil is slowly draining her life away it seems.

        Seems like that’s going around a lot these days.
