Give us the names of the people responsible so they can be barred from the community. This is too many times the DNC has followed the appeasement strategy by crossing the aisle and trying to sway R voters. Their ideas don't work. They cost us our rights and freedom each time they are wrong so they can't afford to be so consistently out of touch with what works.
It is the entire national Democratic party and their gigantic horde of consultants.
People here don't seem to understand that Trump winning to them, is a preferable outcome to someone like Bernie Sanders ever holding power.
I'm not saying they want Trump in office, I'm saying that Trump in office means they retain their jobs and influence. Both of which are predicated upon keeping their voters trained on the idea that campaigns are only about marketing, and politics is about anything other than how it can directly improve their material conditions.
Imagine a Democratic politician broke through the existing power structures and enacted something like Medicare for All. That is is the biggest threat to their power: an actual FDR Democrat. Someone who takes money and power from the donor class, and uses it to directly improve the material conditions for the rest of us.
Barred from what community? They are power brokers. They control who gets barred, not the other way around.
