Consider, for a moment, what that means for the future of American politics.

Let's play out some very foreseeable hypotheticals. Four to eight more years of an incrementalist approach (that is constantly blocked by an obstructionist Congress) fails to bring these "free college" freeloaders the relief that they seek. Continued failure to address widening inequality or its structural causes (globalization and automation), or the corrupt political system that keeps it in place, further animates this demographic, whose political identities were formed around Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign. Four to eight years of aging and experience with the political system transforms this under-30 demographic into an under-34 and an under-38 demographic, that is better-equipped to register to vote and turnout for elections. Four to eight years of aging sees the thinning out of the baby boomer generation (in 2020 and 2024, U.S. Life expectancy will be about 79.5-80 years of age), that has so reliably turned out for Hillary Clinton in these primaries.
... What then, is the future for this Third Way/DLC Democratic Party? How will it be sustained?
are foolishly worrying themselves over imaginary disasters and helping the bad guys by trying to take out for them one of the only two good choices for leaders we have.
..."Its the GOP that crash the country with lower taxes on the rich and a 3 trillion dollar war."
(I will point out that grammatically, it should have been "It's" and "crashed"
Although I do not disagree with that remark, I did point out that Obama kept the great bulk of the tax cuts and made them permanent. You can talk all you want about how that happened, but it's still something that he did as President. Part of the record. "The buck stops here" and all that.
You of course have no idea how it would have worked out with Sanders as President; neither do I. So let's save the hypotheticals.
And finally, you just can't help yourself, you denigrate and insult Senator Sanders. "empty suit" "nice old man" (WTF?) "just a talker". You say volumes about yourself here, none of it good.
That makes 2 today who are obvious Ron Paul supporters. I wonder how many more there are on DU?
lewebley3? How many more for-profit prisons? How many more economic meltdowns? How much economic injustice IS ENOUGH FOR YOU? Do you want us to look like China, be paid like China, have China's air??? WAKE UP!!! The "status quo" you defend is KILLING US and the planet!
(I just know they speak foreign, they're saying something bad about me! 
)
You must have been ... you just didn't want me to know ... so you were speak foreign! That what you guys always do!
{ETA: I've had 100s of these conversations with folks complaining about people speaking their native (or acquired) tongue in the workplace.}
Hillary has awful judgement. All it takes is one single Google or YouTube search. From Iraq to Saudi weapon deals to emails to running 3am racist ads against Obama to Honduras to Syria. You can push your agenda all you want for the 1% and the corporate candidate that Hillary is and bring up stuff which is downright hilarious but it doesn't change the fact of the things below.
So let's debunk you right this second.
Are you aware that Hillary flip flopped on the issue and ran to the right of Obama on the issue and catered to the NRA and it's voters? Of course you aren't. And while you sit here and praise your candidate and slam Bernie, your candidate is holding fundraisers with NRA lobbyists https://theintercept.com/2016/03/01/nra-lobbyist-will-co-host-clinton-fundraiser/ So please don't give us that shit about gun control.
Bailout.
Clinton and Sanders were both in the Senate at the time, and contrary to what Clinton implied Sunday, both supported the idea of an auto bailout.
Sanders argued that letting the auto industry go under was too big of a risk for middle-class workers -- it could lower wages across all sectors of the economy and have a ripple effect on states like Vermont that were fairly far removed from the auto industry. He was quoted by Vermont Public Radio at the time as saying:
The problem is if you don't act in the midst of a growing recession, what does it mean to create a situation where millions of more people become unemployed? And that could spread, and I have serious concerns about that. I think it would be a terrible idea to add millions more to the unemployment rolls.
But Sanders was vehemently against the larger $700 billion bailout to prop up the banks. (As evidenced by his presidential campaign, Sanders is no fan of Wall Street.) So he voted against the bank bailout.

Crime bill.
Hillary Clinton and the Tragic Politics of Crime
The criminal-justice policies she now denounces once helped her husband capture the White House.
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/05/the-tragic-politics-of-crime/392114/
To those who see Hillary’s new crime agenda as a flip-flop, her campaign has a rejoinder: Different policies make sense at different times. As Clinton spokesperson Jesse Ferguson tweeted, “HRC policy on internet might also be different than WJC policy in 1994. Not b/c he was wrong but b/c times change.”
The problem with this argument is that many of the crime policies the Clintons supported in the 1990s were probably wrong even back then. Yes, the crime bill did some good: It put more cops on the street and increased penalties for sex crimes. But it also helped spawn the very “era of mass incarceration” that Hillary now denounces. It’s not just that the bill allocated almost $10 billion in federal-prison construction money. It only allocated it to states that adopted “truth-in-sentencing” laws that dramatically increased the amount of time criminals served. As NYU Law School’s Brennan Center has noted, the number of states with such laws rose from five when the bill was signed to 29 by Clinton’s last year in office. Over the course of Clinton’s presidency, the number of Americans in prison rose almost 60 percent.
I can write you out a laundry list of how Hillary has bad judgement.
You say Bernie is out of his league but tell us, who's currently under 2 investigations? WHo doesn't support a living wage? Who acts like a Neocon at AIPAC when they give us speeches? Who think the Reagan's were awesome in AIDS research and who was against DOMA and supported KXL, TPP, DADT and who has sold fracking around the world and supported arctic drilling?
Nope that wasn't Bernie. That was your candidate, Hillary.
It is what it is and you can't defend it other than "It's Hillary's turn!"
You're being made a mark and manipulated. Wake up.
Meaning if anyone dares to run as a third party candidate Trump will win. My comment to you is, why blame those that would not be satisfied with a Trump or Clinton presidency? Those are Sanders supporters the majority of them, thus the statement. Don't be upset with those that would prefer Sanders over those two candidates. Blame those that would vote for Trump instead of Sanders or Clinton. Because you are saying that if a person ran independent of the two of them, Clinton would surely lose...or aren't you?

So a DEMOCRATIC Socialist is a TOS violation?
I guess then that THE only Democrat that counts, is if one is a card carrying Turd Way Democrat...being a Socialist Democrat doesn't count. Jeebus, now they are carving up what type of Democrat is an acceptable Democrat...how Democratic that's NOT.
Or some kind of topsy-turvey crap like that. 
Have to say, I agree entirely!
And, here's our old buddy Cornell West, their honorary chair, right on the home page:

Not sure why you're dragging this up in here, start your own site. 
These ransom notes are getting tiresome.
in the Democratic party no matter how much distaste he had with doing it. Bernie will not run 4 years from now, he will be 79 and a national campaign will be too much for him.
But good luck with you new party.
who still hold to the democratic ideals that the Democratic/Third Way party has abandoned.
It's given a great deal of comic relief to my afternoon!
Also, Working Families Party (i.e. those who don't live off their investments) already exists in several states (and is working to become a national party). They usually cross endorse the candidates of other parties but have started running their own downticket candidates, too. They're already endorsing Bernie for the Dem. Primary. I would love to see them become a national party and have Bernie run as their first Presidential candidate.
The RW Corporate Democrat Party is not representing me and has not for decades
Let that sink in.
the way some are calling for your head, minus the cake remark though.
