"The Democratic Party establishment is about eating its own, but it is wrong to think of that process as being about individual politicians. The Party is about sacrificing aspirations for peace to bipartisan confirmations of a policy of perpetual and pointless war and costly empire. The Party establishment is about betrayal, promising "Medicare for All" with every intention of torpedoing that policy to curry favor with insurance companies and for-profit service providers.
"If you are not actually interested in pursing a promised policy program, then sacrificing effective politicians to show how much you care about symbolic issues is just a means to an end. Who needs a politician who is effective in the pursuit of policy anyway?" BW
