They are fleeing the Democratic Party.
Why?
Three things: Hillary Clinton, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and crony capitalism.
I am in full agreement with both Reich and Alexander. Whatever happens between now and the Democratic Convention – what’s next is that we form a brand new progressive political party from scratch. It has never been more clear to me that millions and millions of us do not belong in the Democratic Party. Their values are not our values. Their priorities are not our priorities. And I’ll be honest with you, I think too highly of myself, of my family, of my friends, and of our future, to stick with a party that looks anything like what Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Schultz are leading right now.
Clinton’s refusal to release the transcripts of her speeches to Goldman Sachs was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. Her indignant and irrational excuses made no sense — particularly in light of the reports stating that the transcripts would ruin her campaign and made her sound like an executive at the company.
I’ll start where I left off — the root of all of this is the love of money. In this campaign, Bernie Sanders, with a ragtag group of misfits, proved to the world that another way exists. He has created a blueprint for us on how we build a political movement without the money from billionaire class and their special interests.
While many feared Donald Trump was destroying the Republican Party, we’re now seeing that he may in fact, have saved the GOP.
Isn’t it sweet irony that Hillary Clinton is the person responsible for destroying the Democratic Party?
