What is up with the disdain Republicans have towards educational institutes?

Well people are participating now, and the establishment dems hate them for it. Progressives are getting out, but the DNC isn't listening.

The attitude of blowing up the establishment is exactly why we lost. I am tired of people, not just here, but on other websites pointing fingers. Hillary had her busters and so did Bernie, and look what it got us.  Now if you voted for Bernie in the primaries, and I did too, but ignore that he ended up throwing his support behind Hillary then you are devaluing him. 

I am not buying into any scorched earth tactic. Dems are progressives and to claim we are not is absurd. It is still up to us to pull our party back to the left. You say the DNC isn't listening? Fine, then make them listen. But blowing up the boat because you don't get everything you want suddenly is why we lost. We had too many "all or nothing" voters in both camps.

The problem with the dems this time around was the people and voter block they were looking at to win. If they really wanted to win they would
pointed  out the elephant in the room and  they could have won. It was the people who were suffering the most being the poor if they reached out to them 
and had policies to make their lives better and fought for 15 dollar minimum wage to bring them out of lower class they could have won.
