13007123, Ehh, I don't know. The problem is that the Democratic party ain't

that left; there is a legit beef here internally as opposed to what was happening with the tea party.

Hell, Id almost venture to say that the US democratic party would be considered borderline right-wing in Europe.

Unlike the Repub's who have been double down on their beliefs for the past few decades the Democrats were afraid to espouse leftist ideals out of fear of alienating moderates (and the vain hope of appealing to compassionate conservatism).

While the Tea Party had a 'LET IT ALL BURN' disposition that was primarily fueled by big business consolidating their political power in a post recession environment decisively anti-big business, it seems that all the Bernie movement has done is let supposed left leaning politicians actually be left leaning.
