    Didn’t say it was preferable or even good, but it is the reason the DNC is tepidly allowing outspoken socialists on their ticket when just ten years ago they were collaborating with Trump to take out Sanders. They can sense that corporate support is going away and that their voters wont bother to show up if the candidates are no different than the last guy

      That’s not my feeling.

      If anything I feel like they don’t really have any strategy other than being not-trump.

      There’s no cohesion or brand or message.

      They’re not “allowing” anything. They’re still doing everything they can to block progressive candidates. It’s just stopped working.
