Remember when...

... the left's indignation was focussed mostly on the Tea Party and later all Republican stone walling, so it became impossible to do anything good? What makes us think that providing our own version of the Tea Party and invoking idealogical purity will make it any easier to do anything good?

Anything "Good" will get done if we elect an establishment politician like Clinton? Please, she is on their team not the people's.

But the reality is most of our politicians are beholden to the same masters and do not act in the best interest of the majority of Americans. It is all a big dog and pony show to distract us from the reality that they're screwing us!

Bottom line to me: Hillary is part of the problem not the solution. Bernie has been an independent his whole career because he didn't agree with how either party handled the people's business. He caucused with the D's and voted with them but did not want to be seen as part of their establishment, because it is corrupt and always has been.
