I'm a subscriber and a pretty regular viewer of The Jimmy Dore Show. Recently, he ran a show called "Progressive Primarying Corporate Democrat In Washington State."
Something Old
because why?
Has anyone really asked this of Bernie or the Bernie people or Justice Democrats/ Our Revolution/ Brand New Congress/ Coalition to Promote Maybe You Get A Little Something For Your Tax Dollars?
Are any of those organizations planning to support any candidate anywhere (outside of Bernie, but only technically) who isn't a Democrat?
The big news this week is apparently that while all the nice liberals were busy planning protests against a President who won't have done anything yet, the nice people whose campaign blunders gave us this President have been very busy keeping the Democratic Party in their own hands.
So for instance we have this piece, from Counterpunch:
Brand New Congress / Bernie National Committee - Organizing Kickoff Gatherings!!!
Hey everyone! We’re continuing the revolution with a campaign to elect a Brand New Congress! Come meet national and local BNC organizers and supporters and let’s get this thing started in your city! This event is an opportunity to learn more about BNC, join a volunteer team, suggest members of your community who would make great representatives and meet some amazing new people.
The lesser of 2 evils. A concept we talked about in 8th grade history class. I turned 18 in 1976 and voted for Jimmy Carter, and have continually voted for the lesser of 2 evils my entire adult life. I have seriously considered writing in Bernie come November, I see no reason to continue this pattern.
