Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, also a New York Democrat, had the worst numbers of the four congressional leaders, 24 percent approval against 54 percent disapproval. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, had the lowest approval at 21 percent, but fewer voters disapproved of him at 46 percent.
If the Dem party truly listened to its base, it’d have been Bernie 2016…
but we all see how things turn out with the DNC of today… and the DNC of yesterday.
They were never going to back and fund an independent with Democrat funding.
Well yes, that’s the problem exactly.
I’ve been saying that all along, and I get savaged every time. The DNC would never give Bernie their nomination because he’s NOT a Democrat. It’s as simple as that.
On Lemmy? I’m surprised, lemmy seems pretty clear on that point. It’s a huge reason people want the oldguard dems ousted.
I wanted Bernie too, but the primary voters chose Hillary long before they got to the Convention when the Superdelegates could influence the vote. Yes, the establishment preferred her, but so did the people actually voting in the primaries.
It’s why the message needs to be that we vote left in the primaries, then vote blue in the general. It’s the only way to reverse the ratchet.
