Carville doesn't want to see the DNC go down in flames.
Funny that he hasn't said anything about AOC's "Courage to Change" PAC either yet.

@TheMadPirate @Secftblgirl It's because she's just a congresswoman and not running a national election.
@l0wk3y @Secftblgirl 4th law of war: never ever underestimate your enemy
@TheMadPirate @Secftblgirl Right...but from a political standpoint no one really cares because she doesn't have anything close to the power of the presidency.
They're doing this because Sanders is is essentially the left wing populist guy. Both he and Trump have a well stated tack record of pissing on the ruling class, which is why they're doing this.

Funny thing is, if Putin were really trying to make Trump reelected, he would interfering in favor of Bloomberg, the guys the democrats at "The Intercept" call a "Far Right Candidate". Bloomy is the single most impressive caucus turn out killer you will ever get.

@TheMadPirate @Secftblgirl Yeah, but the thing is Sanders is the theoretical front-runner.
You wouldn't go after a dude who has no chance of winning, you want to tar the guy who does have a shot. You can get a hell of lot more mileage out of that.

@TheMadPirate @Secftblgirl Because if he gets the nomination or even wins the election whatever discord they're trying to create is going to continue on just like it has with Trump.
@l0wk3y @Secftblgirl
The MSM never goes after their own, they will simply call it a "Conspiracy Theory, unlike Trump's....blahblahblah". Remember that still today the MSM says Clinton's Uranium One has been "already debunked" and that Peter Scheiwzert's research is "inaccurate".
Sanders would definitely be shield against accusations if he gets the nomination.

@TheMadPirate @Secftblgirl He's not one of their own, if we're talking about the media. The media are just corporatist knobs who go after whomever their bosses (ie: defence contractors an such) dislike the most. They also love sucking up to the establishment because that guarantees their access going forward.
@l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @Secftblgirl At this stage the anti-Sanders rage from the Democratic party insiders and the media is based on their estimates of his electability - that he can't possibly beat Trump.
Once nominated most of them will fall into line behind Bernie because they hate Trump more, but it won't work. Trump will win.

My theory is that if Bloomy steals the nomination the Bernie Bros won't follow suit.

@TheMadPirate @Secftblgirl @l0wk3y Bloomberg isn't going to be nominated. If they cheat Bernie it will be to replace him with someone who was in the race from the start. No carpetbaggers, no benchwarmers.
That counts Hillary out as well.
My guess is if Bernie's momentum keeps up they will capitulate and let him have it, same way the GOP folded and let Trump have it.
To do otherwise would burn the party to the ground.

My theory is that the DNC will fall for Bloomberg and Corporate Donors big coffer of shekels. Mainly for how hard it has been for them to fundrise in the last 4 years.

@TheMadPirate @Secftblgirl @l0wk3y You don't live in the US, do you?
The hatred for Bloomberg among Democrats is hotter than a trillion suns.
He will never be nominated.

@judgedread It depends on who you're talking about. The DNC would love to have Bloomberg be the nominee. The rank and file Democratic voter certainly hates Bloomberg though. It is also true that the leadership of the Democratic party is quite happy to commit suicide to ensure that Sanders doesn't win to benefit their class interests. @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate
@terryenglish @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate The class interests are, shall we say, that of the alienated immigrant who still burns with white hot hate about the membership policies of country clubs 100 years ago.
In this they are fully aligned with Ocasio Cortez and the rest of the Vendetta Coalition.

@judgedread @terryenglish @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate That's going to be everyone if trends continue.
We're going to end up with a permeant rulling elite and everyone else is going to be a powerless unit who's sole independence comes from choosing Coke or Pepsi.

@l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate @terryenglish Which is why the grassroots is going for Bernie, they hope that he is going to fuck over the rich.

@judgedread By fuck over the rich do you mean make them actually pay taxes again? @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate
@terryenglish @judgedread @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate The rich never really pay taxes.
@bubbles @terryenglish @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate @judgedread The corporate tax rate in the US around the 1950's was around 90% iirc.
Now it's next to nothing. Globalization has made that a reality.
Just set up shop in Ireland and tell the IRS to get rekt.
