2016 Democratic Primary

Up until now, though there has been a degree of polarization between Hillary and Bernie supporters, a majority of Bernie supporters appear to be okay with voting for Hillary if she is the eventual nominee. However, just as Hillary alienated many Obama supporters in the 2008 primary by trying to smear him with Reverend Wright/unAmericanism and other falsehoods, Hillary's and her SuperPAC's attempt to improve her polling in this way may have the opposite effect.

This is absolutely not a case of some Democrats supporting "a political outsider" as Republicans are, they are actually supporting an established politician (a sitting Senator) who seems more genuine to them than the allegedly inevitable Democratic front runner.

One would reasonably ask, if Wall Street continues to be close with Hillary and donating to her while she continues to attack them in speeches...do they know something that Progressive Democrat voters may not know?

It used to be that we could trust the news reporter to do the right thing. Not so today. They toe the corporate line. Twist the news stories to fit their agenda. They have all the republican candidates on and ask them soft questions and allow them to say whatever they want.

Hillary Clinton explained her position against taking positions as a reflection of her strength as a candidate, "Someone has to have the courage to take a stand not to take a stand!"

Bernie has always said he is a "socialist" with a small "s", which means he cares about all Americans. He wants everyone to have equal rights, equal chance to succeed, and equal pay for equal work. So many times I see where he is called a "communist" but he believes in democracy with a twist of socialism.

Democrats should not fear democracy as a threat, firstly because just the opposite is true and secondly because Republicans will sue them for theft of intellectual property (it's the only use of the word "intellectual" Republicans are permitted to make).
