Stopping Bernie - Again

NBC News has published an op-ed by Republican political strategist-turned Clinton advisor and Dem strategist David Brock titled “Bernie Sanders’ fans can’t be allowed to poison another Democratic primary with personal attacks — Bashing Beto O’Rourke (and every other Democrat) doesn’t help liberals’ cause in 2020. It only helps Trump.” The article explicitly blames Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump on supporters of Bernie Sanders who criticized her during the primary, and makes it clear that such criticisms must be forcefully and aggressively fought against this time around.

In other words, the Democrat primaries will be sabotaged again to prevent anyone other than "the chosen one" to win. This is a FAR greater threat to our democratic process than anything the Russians or Chinese could do, yet the DNC seems to be fully behind such perfidy.

If all you're after is naked power, this is the way to go. If, on the other hand, you want to empower We the People, why not let us choose the candidate WE want? Had we been allowed to do that in 2016, it's likely Trump wouldn't have won. His election was not Bernie's fault -  that distinction belongs to people like Brock, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Hillary Clinton.

And apparently they haven't learned a damn thing.
