Don’t Repeat the 1944 & 1968 Mistakes of Party Bosses!

From Jack Jodell at :

When Democrats, liberals, progressives, or leftists in general fight among themselves, the end result is almost always ugly: a Republican win or narrowed Democratic majorities. That is a fact and a most inconvenient truth we cannot ignore as we approach this November’s all-important presidential election.

As I write this, the formerly united Democratic Party has developed two warring factions. On one hand, there are those (including myself) supporting a very progressive self-proclaimed “Democratic Socialist” and former Independent named Bernie Sanders. On the other is longtime Democrat (previous Goldwater Republican) and former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton’s ties to Wall Street bankers, more moderate stances on most issues, and her close relationships with many insider/establishment-type Democrats are looked upon with distrust by some of us lefties, while Sanders is viewed by some as being “too liberal” and bordering on radical.

Because of various pot-shots each candidate’s supporters have taken at the other’s after numerous presidential debates, a full scale near-civil war seems brewing within the Democratic fold.
