In reply to the discussion: Matt Taibbi: Democrats Will Learn All the Wrong Lessons From Brush With Bernie [View all]FighttheFuture
(1,313 posts)Let's face it, no one ever went broke underestimating the American Public. Also, lets not forget the racist assholes and bigots on the right, mostly. You do have those who have a general sense of what's happening, albeit with different interpretations and conclusions, but they are more and more the outliers.
Still, with all that said, "the people" do know one thing very well. That is, they are getting fucked in the ass for way to long and neither party is really addressing the issue of this long term fucking. So, this has opened up the possibilities of someone like Bernie, a visionary who is reminding people how things could be and in some cases were, that we can do this together, and Trump, a demagogue not unlike Hitler or others in history.
Where it will go is not known. God help us all!
