(8,175 posts)Not in a country where the establishment is owned and controlled by the Koch Brothers, wall street and other big money. Not in a country where media conglomerates owned by wealthy conservatives build up candidates that they support and tear down those they don't. There is no fair and balanced in reporting any more. Hell, they blacked Bernie out for a full six months.
And not in a party where the democratic party establishment (congress and DNC) who are all owned by the oligarchs and corporations and MIC, decide who the president will be, instead of letting the people decide.
But in spite of all that, Bernie is doing a bang-up job of shaking up a system he wasn't even supposed to be able to make a dent in.
We aren't through yet. Even if Bernie doesn't get the nomination, we are not done. We've had it and we're not going to take it any more.
