    It is very telling that the big donors would rather try to split the democrat vote than rally behind a popular candidate.

    IMO, Dems have to allow the new generations to finally have their say and invite fresh ideas, or fatally break the party.

    If they keep letting the money work against their voters, they’re choosing the latter.

      The party has been fatally broken for a while; it’s mostly a question of if and when the left realizes that and gets to work.

      I’m pretty sure it’s a known strategy of a handful of billionaires (the richest man in PA comes to mind, though I forget his name) to back moderate dems to shift the board to the right.

      remember- (large in this sense) donors are capitalists. they donate not out of the kindness of their hearts…
