2. Right on and straight to the heart of the matter

Did you write this?

I absolutely loved it. Many great points.

This paragraph in particular jumped out at me, becaue it expressed a difficult to communicate truth in a concise image:

Bernie Sanders though is not politics as usual, and the response he has gotten on the campaign trail since he announced his bid for the presidency has been anything but politics as usual. If Sander's views are seen as falling outside the mainstream of American politics that's only because the stream bed is engineered and runs through concrete coverts, narrowly defined and carefully controlled by banks that direct it.

In our current political state, conventional wisdom is an pretty much an oxymoron, because it was designed to benefit narrow interests, those of empire and vast private fortunes.
