A serious question about Bernie Sanders

[Le Taz Hot]

45. I think the rank-and-file Democrats

would love someone like Bernie. It's the Corporate Democrats, the ones currently in power, that see that as a threat as it doesn't support the corporatism they seem to worship. When a true liberal does enter a race, too often the PNAC-loving Democrats-in-Charge will take down that candidate in the myriad of ways that are within their reach. They'll put all their muscle and money and influence to harpoon the liberal candidate and, when that doesn't work, character assassination with something as stupid as the "Dean scream."
Too often it works all too well.

Senator Sanders appeals to the average American because he's established a history of fighting for We The People. Politicians like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are the antithesis of Sanders and Elizabeth Warren with the latter two posing a clear threat to the current status quo. It's all about monied interests and, in that sense, BOTH parties, as they are currently arrayed, are equal.

WE need to search out and support better candidates and quit letting Das Party pick for us and we do that by voting with our feet. Reject candidates like Hillary Clinton outright and let Das Party know that we'll look elsewhere for candidates if the Democrats can't offer us anything better than corporate lackeys. Believe it or not, it's WE who have the power. We've just ALLOWED the major political parties to take over. We are the ones who need to, and can, take back the process.
