    Democrats don’t run progressives because progressives are bad for fundraising. The powers that be (the wealth elite) like to be able to rob our coffers at their leisure, so they won’t give money to candidates that might turn off (or even slow down) the tap of our resources.

      Bernie would have won if the youth had come out to vote at a rate comparable to the elderly.

      It’s easier to blame the elite than to act but it’s not a huge conspiracy it’s simply down to who shows up to the goddamn primaries.
