[lbo-talk] Disgusting Democrats: Clinton, Newsom versus Gonzalez

[Lance Murdoch]

Nothing could show the Democratic party's true colors over what happened
in San Francisco.  Who is the Democratic candidate?  A millionaire who
campaigns on how he is going to solve the homeless problem in San
Francisco - the solution being to throw them out.  Behind him is the
city's corporate establishment as well as some small business owners.

 Running against him is a true progressive, with a grassroots campaign.
Since a Republicans are unelectable in San Francisco, they use the
Democratic party as their platform.

The fact that someone left of the Democrats running a progressive,
grassroots campaign struck terror through the Democratic establishment.
They raised money from all the big sources (including traditionally
Republican ones) and pull out all the big guns, including Clinton.  It's
funny how they bring out someone like Clinton, it becomes a real
emergency, when a grassroots, progressive campaign threatens a DLC
millionaire hack running with the support of the local business community.

Truly disgusting, this has changed my view of the Democratic party.
