...
and it's going to be very ugly
political
comment by failed evolution
After the
wonderful trip with Bernie Sanders all this period towards his
struggle to win the Democratic nomination, things "got back to
normal" for the US establishment.
Bernie
managed not only to put some color in the process, through his warm
speeches, mobilizing the American youth and spreading enthusiasm in
crowded rallies. Most importantly, he forced Hillary and Democrats to
"bend" to the left, and start speaking about forgotten
people's rights that have been wiped out by the neoliberal hurricane.
It won't be so easy for Hillary to leave all these behind in case
that she will be the next US president, because now she knows that
all eyes and ears are focused on her.
An even most
important achievement by Bernie, is that he managed to set the roots
for a widespread, mass movement across the United States which could
mark the beginning of the end of the current establishment. It seems
that now, a significant percentage of the US society demands a third
political power that could really fight for the interests of the 99%,
against the old, corrupted, bipartisan establishment that clearly
serves the 1% through the neocon agenda.
However, for
now, we have in front of us an ugly picture. And it seems that for
one more time, the US voters have no real options after the dirty
exclusion of Bernie Sanders by the establishment.
Deeply
pro-establishment, war-thirsty Hillary Clinton, against the reserve
of the establishment, racist billionaire Donald Trump: couldn't ever
imagine a worst nightmare ...
From what part of space are you observing our planet, kind alien sir/madam? Mr. Sanders did manage to steer a nice large herd of gullible fauxgressives into the DNC veal pen by extracting some very very minor concessions on the DP platform (a non-binding, non-serious document) and giving a nice stump speech. But what in the seven galaxies makes you think Hillary and her neoliberal cronies "bent" to the left? They couldn't even get rid of that odious Wasserman-Schultz creature!
ReplyDeleteHere, lemme sum it up for you: Sanders did his job. He'll get his cut. We're screwed.
