and yet he was the MOST establishment, and SO WHAT, why so many magic buzzwords demonizing Democrats? Who resurrected this "establishment" "elite" "corrupted" purity test business to run for president? The subject is taboo.

Why did and do so many believe a fake populist who doesn't know anything and his complete revision of history? This hasn't been studied except for Stephen Stoft's "Ripped Apart: How Democrats can fight polarization and win." Whole thing's available to read online Google Books. Nobody listens.

Cynicism, stupidity, negativity only helps Republicans. Think for yourselves.
