Bernie Sanders and the Peter Principle

[Kind of Blue]

234. Thanks, Skidmore!

For me, it's freeing to dare to think for a moment Not to Vote for Either one. After letting go, it's ridiculous for me not to fully face that the engine of modern capitalism was slavery. Since then, not only have we been physically segregated to a large degree by policies meant to clearly oppress, we've been segregated mentally. Yet the call every 4
years to unite and fight the dreadful republicans has done absolutely nothing to curtail the deaths of PoC, instead it's increased significantly.

"They are not my constituency," BS said just 3 years ago when Atlanta activist Ted Brodek asked him why did he not say a word about African-Americans during his speech to the Democratic Socialists of America. This was Sanders attitude entering the theatre. I hear the same thing 3 years later, though couched and a lot less dismissive. How could that be when this group of constituents is vital to his election and support for his rival is huge?

It's just bizarre to me, except if he really doesn't want to be president. I'm feeling my vote doesn't matter could simply be because HRC has got the overwhelming majority of us already locked up, and he's got that one job to do. Things just don't add up to me but glad there's over a year to listen and watch them.
