“Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? Probably not.”

        The dnc should all fall on their sword politically and admit that it would been better today had they given being their blessing and support when it would have mattered.

        Then give Bernie power in the dnc to craft the future of the party. Find a new direction while there’s still time
