1. How I wish I could draw. I'd love to draw political cartoons. n/t

[Catherina]

2. Me too! But I can barely draw a stick figure so so much for that idea. n/t

3. There is a strong anti-establishment feeling in the country right now, and it is definitely showing.

[Catherina]

4. I think that's what 90% of the butthurt is about.

It's not like people haven't been vocal about it. Or didn't get out on the streets.

All we kept hearing was that we were the fringe.

Well, fringe this, baby!

[daleanime]

5. Amen....

13. I have a serious problem with this

It really allows the pundit class and the mainstream media to water down the policies and ideas of Sanders campaign to being about moods. This is not merely "anti-establishment."

The biggest problems of our times in politics is the role of money in political power and the vast disparity of wealth and what that is doing to deform Democracy.

The Tea Party and Birther nonsense that spawned Trump was created by a massive astroturfing effort and Trump is a racist misogynistic, xenophobic moron.

This is intensely frustrating to watch.

15. The money in politics is what caused all of this, so I agree with you, it has to be

the most important issue of this campaign. Bernie has made it the central focus of his campaign, by publicly REFUSING the Dark Money bribery that is what this money is.

17. The anti-establishment feeling is due to corrupt politicians accepting money from lobbyists and

not representing the people. It is a cause and effect. Calling it what it is doesn't water down the message at all. Approval rating for Congress are embarrassing low and more than half of the country doesn't vote. I think we understand why there is an anti-establishment feeling. It is corruption. The American people know this. They are not as dumb as some campaign managers and media think they are.

6. That pretty much illustrates it right there.

People are fed up in both parties.
The bullshit just is not working anymore.

9. ....x10+

I'm fed up.

[99Forever]

7. And the tone deaf schmucks still don't get it. n/t

[oldandhappy]

8. ouch indeed!

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. Rather perfectly put, isn't it? n/t

[kenfrequed]

11. I hate the equivalency implied

We really need to stomp on this stupid media bullshit when it comes to comparing Trump and Sanders. They are nothing alike in terms of policy and their supporters have little in common in terms of interest.

[fadedrose]

12. The size of the crowds they draw

and the devotion of their supporters - other than the ones bankrolling them.

[kenfrequed]

14. Feh

The media practically had to feed and fertilize the Trump movement.

Bernie's supporters cropped up pretty near organically in a period where the media outlets were mostly trying to ignore him.

16. People have reached The Popeye Point.

After so much getting knocked around by Bluto, Popeye finally has had enough, pops open his spinach, and shouts "I'VE HAD ALL I CAN STANDS, and I CAN"T STANDS NO MORE!!!"

That's where the 99% are now.

The smart and constructive ones are with Bernie, the paranoids and cave orcs are with tRump. But they are all past the Popeye Point.
