This primary has shifted the entire paradigm. It's very clear now that the demarkations are the corrupt establishment vs the non-establishment--which is made up of many Democrats.
Whether or not those non-establishment Dems work to fight within the party to rid our party of this aggressive cancer, remains to be seen. I hope that's what happens.
These corrupters of basic democracy are powerful now, but I don't see their antics as being an effective, long-term strategy.
It's like watching Walter White slowly implode. As you get in deeper with the corruption and crimes--the number of unstable and nefarious people within the framework grows. This creates risk and instability--which requires more corruption and lies to sustain the crimes. Fans of Breaking Bad know exactly what I'm talking about.
Corruption is not an optimal long-term strategy. Furthermore, corrupt systems don't exist in a vacuum. They are part of the real world. Good guys exist in the real world too--that includes regular folks who fight corruption as well as law enforcement, powerful leaders who are not corrupt and "We The Prople" who are demanding the snuffing out of corruption within our systems.
Ultimately, the good guys will win. Unfortunately, it's not going to happen overnight.
