1/ There was a time when the Left didn’t have to fight for power so much within the Democratic Party; it wasn’t treated like a political stepchild the way it is now.

2/ According to @mtaibbi the establishment chooses every four years who they will promote four years hence; clearly Kamala, Pete and Amy are the Democratic chosen ones.

3/ The new book “Lucky” displays how the Democratic establishment did more to choose the candidate than to pave the way for real democracy in its primary season.

4/ Clinton, Obama and the DNC were not going to let Bernie - or any other progressive - have any power that was inconvenient to their purposes.

Kamala should be the chosen one. The notion that the politicians chose the Dem nominee is ridiculous. We, the people, had two choices, Bernie or Biden, and we chose Biden. If Bernie couldn't beat Biden in a head to head match up then it is what it is. That's Democracy.

We need to build political option 3 for the people as the neolib Dems will never cede power to the left.
