(4,490 posts)Instead of saying "it's all about you" it would be more accurate to say "it's never about you". Then you might get it. You can only throw people under the bus so many times before they get fed up with being run over. While I don't think Clinton will be THE breaking point, I think the reaction you're seeing should at minimum be taken as a clear warning shot of things to come. If the Democrats don't get their act together, people even further to the left of Bernie Sanders and to the right of Donald Trump are going to appeal to more and more people. People who call Bernie radical or extreme don't seem to know what real political radicals look like. Unfortunately, the Democrats political establishment have reacted horribly to the changing situation, and pretended "business as usual" and the transparent political gameplaying is a sound strategy going forward.
