as has been mentioned every where, it's odd that a man who's been in the US congress for 20 years isn't part of the establishment. he may be a bit of an outsider because of his views and raining on clinton's coronation, but someone in the US senate is establishment.

honestly i'm not thrilled about either of the Dem candidates. oops i forgot about o'malley.

I mean, considering that Cecile Richards daughter is Hillary's Iowa Communications Director and they've NEVER endorsed a candidate in a primary until now... not denying Hillary's pro-choice background, but there always seems to be a ~connection~ like that with her-- and iirc, the Human Rights Campaign president has ties to her as well and worked in Bill's white house so..... it's not THAT far of a stretch to say they're "establishment" when they have 20+ year ties to Clinton.

I believe it was actually in the high 80's, like 86% or 89%; but you know, the info that correlates to the cronyism is never discussed, it doesn't make for a good soundbite.

Oh, and lol, just came across this: Human Rights Campaign's 'Corporate Partners' look very familiar

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know when we will know who will be the next democratic nominee?
