Great news out of Nevada for Berniecrats. Brillian, glorious news, the best we’ve had in a long time. It doesn’t seem to be getting a huge amount of notice in the mainstream media, but I found articles in the Intercept, Fox News, and The Las Vegas Journal Review, with only a few minor discrepancies in the details.
The Democratic Socialists (i.e. Berniecrats) have taken over the Nevada State Democratic party! The ‘Nevada Dem Progressive Slate,’ led by Judith Whitmer of Las Vegas, soundly defeated the dishonestly named ‘Progressive Unity Party.’
That’s one thing that seriously pisses me off. Regular old DNC Democrats calling themselves progressives, while they fight against every progressive issue. The Fox News article on this seriously muddied the waters by referring to them as progressives in almost every paragraph, and they sure showed how much they believed in unity, right after the election.
“What hit us by surprise and was sort of shocking is that for a slate that claimed that they were all about unity, and kept this false narrative of division going on throughout the entire campaign — in fact they kept intensifying that — that’s what was surprising about it, was the willingness to just walk away, instead of working with us.”
Of course, the meeting was held by Zoom, so there was no technical walkout, but there were mass resignations from party positions, and a sudden and suspicious transfer of funds.
Because they were never progressives. And they never gave a shit about unity.
A Big Win in Nevada
