Bernie Sanders Steps Up Feud With Democratic Establishment
Sanders has ignored growing Democratic calls to step aside and repeated his vow to stay in the race until the party convention.
05/22/2016
Sanders said that if he won the White House, he would not reappoint U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz as DNC chairwoman. He also endorsed law professor Tim Canova, who is challenging the Florida congresswoman in the August Democratic primary.
Do I think she is the kind of chair that the Democratic Party needs? No, I dont, Sanders told CBS Face the Nation.
Frankly, what the Democratic Party is about is running around to rich peoples homes and raising obscene sums of money from wealthy people. What we need to do is to say to working-class people we are on your side, he said.
I dont want to see the American people voting for the lesser of two evils. I want the American people to be voting for a vision of economic justice, of social justice, of environmental justice, of racial justice, he said on ABC.

The ruling class owns both parties and the major media. They think they don't need us.

They cannot say that because they're not and they don't even care to pretend now.

Either way they are hurting many unnecessarily.

"If the Democratic Party would fight as hard for the Working Class as the Republican Party fights for the Ruling Class, the Republicans would be a powerless minority party within a few election cycles.
The Democratic Party knows this, the Republican Party knows this, the Ruling Class knows this- and they've been astonishingly successful at making sure the Working Class never learns this.
The status quo was rolling along just fine, until Bernie Sanders came along and mucked it up with his crazy ideas about democracy, equality and justice." ~ Anonymous
