The End of the Democrat Party?
hahahahahaha
The Republican civil war was supposed to start this week.
Instead, a ferocious struggle has erupted on the left over the smoldering remains of the Democratic Party.
Liberals are seething over the election and talking about launching a Tea Party-style revolt. They say it’s the only way to keep Washington Democrats connected to the grassroots and to avoid a repeat of the 2016 electoral disaster, which blindsided party elites.
Progressives believe the Democratic establishment is responsible for inflicting Donald Trump upon the nation, blaming a staid corporate wing of the party for nominating Hillary Clinton and ignoring the Working Class voters that propelled Trump to victory.
Liberals want to see establishment Democrats targeted in primaries, and the “Clinton-corporate wing” of the party rooted out for good.
The fight will begin over picking a new leader for the Democratic National Committee.
Progressives are itching to see the national apparatus reduced to rubble and rebuilt from scratch, with one of their own installed at the top.
And there is talk among some progressives, like Bill Clinton’s former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, about splitting from the Democratic Party entirely if they don’t get the changes they seek.
“The Democratic Party can no longer be the same, it has been repudiated,” Reich said on a conference call with members from the progressive grassroots group Democracy for America.
“This has been a huge refutation of establishment politics and the political organization has got to be changed...if the Democratic Party can’t do it, we’ll do it through a third party.”
To some liberals, that means a wholesale purging of the “corporate dominated” wing of the party.
“They’ll hold on to the party mechanisms until you rip it out of their dying hands,” said Jonathan Tasini, a Sanders surrogate. “It’s all about power and money and influence for them.”

Tear it down! Abolish the Democrat Party!
WOW - Fantastic!
All the coverage has been on the national election, but Dems have lost power in record numbers all up and down the ticket, and 26 Dems seats are up for grabs in the Senate in 2 years.
It's a RED LANDSLIDE!!!
Democrats Breaking Records: Control Fewest State Legislatures in History
Local Democrats will only control all the levers of power in five states: California, Delaware, Oregon, Hawaii, and Rhode Island. In comparison, the GOP will enter 2017 holding trifectas in half the country’s state governments, trifecta control being when a single party controls the governor’s mansion and both legislative chambers.
