Bernie Sanders: Longterm Democratic strategy is “pathetic”{INTERVIEW}

[rhett o rick]

52. The problem Sen Sanders faces is that he needs a strong political party behind him and I am afraid

as can be seen here, that the Democratic Party Machine will push the status quo. The Powers That Be are pushing for a H. Clinton-Sachs vs. ____________ (any Republican tool) race. HRC has to decide if she is or isn't going to try to be a populist. When she does try it is so transparent that it's ridiculous.

When countries' lower classes start to starve, many turn to dictatorial rule. They are convinced by TPTB that their plight is the fault of anyone but the Aristocrats. This happened in German and Italy and other countries. Facing similar circumstances the USofA turned to a more benevolent dictator (FDR). FDR was part of the ruling American Aristocracy but believed in helping humankind in lieu of exploiting them. We were fortunate. Unless we have another FDR appear (I don't think it's Sen Sanders) we are sunk.

Sadly we can see right here in DU where the posters are theoretically "politically liberal" but are afraid to take drastic actions to save our sinking democracy. They are willing to ignore the growing numbers in poverty. Willingly distracted by the Great Middle East War, police violence, and accidents on the 405. Some of them tell you they are liberal because they champion civil rights, women's rights, etc. I support their efforts on those issues, but ask them if they support fracking and see them run.

IMHO you aren't liberal if you don't support saving SS and Medicare, don't support saving our environment and reversing climate change, don't support strong regulations for Wall Street, do support the Great Continuous Middle East War, do support the MIC, do support the very powerful NSA/CIA Security State, do support Free Trade policies and treaties, etc.

We have an uphill battle and our first challenge is to wrest control of the Democratic Party Machine from the conservatives.
