Newsweek: Bernie Sanders Says Democratic Party Has Become a 'Party of Coastal Elites'

[NurseJackie]

140. What useful purpose is served by smearing Democrats and the Democratic party with lies?

This was not some "accidental" slip of the tongue, or careless wording, or an inadvertent gaffe. This is not the first time these types of smears and lies have been hurled at Democrats or the Democratic party.

It's NOT TRUE that Democrats are the "party of Coastal Elites". It's also NOT TRUE that Democrats are "ideologically bankrupt". It's also NOT TRUE that Democrats are "feeble". It's also NOT TRUE that Democrats are "corrupt". It's also NOT TRUE that the Democratic party is an "absolute failure". It's also NOT TRUE that the Democratic party is "the party of the one-percent". It's also NOT TRUE that the Democratic party is the "party of the elite". It's also NOT TRUE that there's "no difference between Democrats and Republicans." It's also NOT TRUE that Democrats are "do-nothings". It's also NOT TRUE that the Democratic party "doesn't care about climate change." It's also NOT TRUE that the Democrats "focus too much" on diversity. It's also also NOT TRUE that people who the refuse to vote for an African-American because of his skin color "aren't racists". It's also also NOT TRUE that the Democrats who "are very big into diversity" aren't "particularly sympathetic" to the working class.

It's all so bizarre to me. The timing? Now? This?

Dear god, WHY?
