A new
strategy has emerged in the Hillary Clinton camp: No longer even try
to match Bernie Sanders’ left-wing politics — which the Wall
Street-backed multimillionaire war hawk Clinton is fundamentally
incapable of doing. Instead, appeal to authority and accuse the
democratic socialist of disloyalty to the corrupt Democratic Party.
Clinton’s
campaign did just that this week, condemning Sanders for “trying to
convince the next generation of progressives that the Democratic
Party is corrupt.”
The notion
that Sanders had to try to convince progressives of this in the first
place is ludicrous. The warmongering, corporate-funded,
pro-privatization Democratic Party leadership has long made it loud
and clear that it is thoroughly corrupt and reactionary.
Yet Clinton
and her supporters happen to be correct about one thing; they are
just right for the wrong reasons.
Bernie
Sanders is not a Democrat. And this is a good thing.
What the
Clinton camp appears to be incapable of understanding is that the
Democratic Party is less and less popular among progressive
Americans.
