Bernie; “I am glad you asked that question. Now, about the billionaire class and their stranglehold on the Democratic Party I so vigorously oppose as I seek their nomination…”
WFP is getting a lot of uninformed heat here. The WFP is especially active in New York, and has been instrumental in moving the politics of the state Democrats away from corrupt machine centrism and towards actual delivery of public goods for actual New Yorkers. The opposition to the IDC–New York Senate Democrats who corruptly caucused with the GOP–was strongly supported by the WFP. It is a terrific organization with terrific people. Hence its original endorsement of Warren over Sanders.
That article is nothing but outside advisors/funders speculating. I could have created a list that is just as accurate as what Axios pulled out of its butt.
The class of people who make 3 million a year and own three houses…and have been running in government their whole life
Oh Wait…
What did you expect?
Uninformed Heat is practically a religion, world-wide.
Thank you
That’s what makes me nuts about this kind of reporting
We all do. The rub is finding someone who can actually do it.
The main reason I respect EW is that she has a demonstrable oeuvre.
OR:
“We hate poverty war and injustice unlike the rest of you squares” - Ancient reference from an ancient song
I know you say so, but you can see what the WFP believes …
She’s a good friend.
Precisely!
Ready, aim, tweet.
…and it doesn’t matter if you cram a couple extra syllables into a campaign slogan…
You know better.
(Am I going out on a limb here?)
I do say so, wasn’t aware of them, according to wikipedia they seem like a good outfit.
With good taste
Sanders is bad!
Give me a cookie!
Plagiarist.

It has a pretty standard definition, and it’s not something that Bernie defined. But like the word “Neoliberal”, which also has a definition, it is a very mysterious term to some. And very flexible!
Here’s what the Establishment is NOT - voters. It’s the power structure - the players at the top. ** **
I’m sure it’s not as simple as “WFP is getting piled on because they support Bernie and for no other reason”. Because that would be uncivilized.
