2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)The Hillaryites are demonstrating how out of touch they are with the working class. [View all]
But we don't expect them to lead and organize any political movement of significance.
They really believe that major progressive social changes come via elections.
That idea demonstrates a real ignorance of American and world history.
What do these dilettantes really know and understand about the history of radical mass movements and the two American revolutions?
And some counterfeit progressives pretending to be liberal minded admire the oligarchy and its main political leaders like the Clintons and others. They someday hope to enjoy the lifestyles and join the social circles of that class.
Now that's real politics!

That's true. And that's what makes Bernie exceptional. He knows the real history of this nation.

How did your guy, Al Gore, lose the 2000 election? He didn't. It was stolen by the Supreme Court.

That's what you, Wall Street, corporate America and their main benefactor, Hillary hope. Isn't it?

Yeah, I had that wrong. Sanders has been in Congress 25 years, the Senate only 9.
