US Senator salary: $174,000. Budget for hiring staff: $3 million +. But he's doing a podcast instead of legislating. https://twitter.com/oldladydem/status/743504505505976320

Look, the revolution began in 2008. Sorry you're mad about being 8 years late. We'll keep it moving along with or without you.

Meet Al Giordano, the Man Who Wants to Take Bernie Down
Nearly zero odds of defeating an entrenched Washington politician? Check.
Little chance of Democratic Party support? Double check! A decades-old history of lefty activism that casts him as a hippie-turned-politico? Check, check, and check again.
So why would he do it? Because in Giordanos view, and that of his social media supporters, Bernie is losing ugly and hurting Democrats chances of prevailing against Donald Trump in November.
I mean, what havent they touched? Giordano asks, peering at me via a 6-by-4 inch Skype window from his home in Mexico City. What part of the Obama coalition have they not alienated? Its like they want to erase the coalition.
