He dared challenge the Democratic Party elite on you know where, now I am no fan of Grayson, but beyond his bombastic style I read what he has to say and that in this case he points out the blindingly bloody obvious [with a little garnish]. So what did he actually have to say:-

The disenfranchisement of Democratic voters in choosing our candidates has been largely ignored by the complicit national media. Leaders have been replaced or squelched by corporate bag men. We have been directed to sit down, shut up, and do what we are told. Or, as Archie Bunker used to say to Edith, “Stifle!”

Up for grabs, right now, is the very notion that candidates matter, that programs matter, that government matters, and that democracy even exists. Any candidate who shows the slightest commitment to Democratic principles is condemned by the party overlords and their media stenographers as “unelectable,” or “ideological,” or “unrealistic.” In fact, the one last thing that the Democratic Politburo is good at is defeating progressive Democratic candidates. Lord knows that they don’t have a clue about how to beat Republicans. In Florida, a very purple state, party bosses have delivered the nomination in statewide races to right-wing Democrats virtually every time this century. And we have lost 14 of those 15 races.

Needless to say the reception was predictable, the same one most of us here have received ourselves - have a read if you must [you've seen it all before] but go prepared for the hatred on show.

I am listening to the favorite in the race tell me that she will reduce money in politics' but at the same time grabbing the cash with arms flung open wide, her opponent has refused to play that game. How many times must I listen to her say one thing whilst cashing in the checks?

She calls for more transparency on Wall St whilst refusing to release what she said to many of their companies and got paid vast sums for so doing.

As Grayson is finding out, pointing out the bloody obvious gets a vicious backlash these days.

The only candidate consistent in both actions and words is Bernie Sanders and gosh the backlash has been consistently nasty. Running on traditional Democratic Party principles is quite simply treasonous.

It seems that no matter what they are going to get exactly what they deserve Hillary or Trump and once again the rest of us will enjoy the fruits of their labor, sigh.

I'll finish with these words from Grayson

I’m trying to change that. I’m trying to remind our party that we don’t have to be Republican to beat a Republican – that never works -- and that we can still be champions for the People. But there’s only so much I can do alone.

How many of us have said the same damn thing, over and over again, with what result

Oh and don't forget

Vote the least bad!
