Yes Bernie, the System is Rigged. Whining about it won't win you Black votes. Here's why.

86. I regularly interact with people from China, India and a number of European countries.

In fact, I just spent three hours in a car with a fellow from India who's spent eight years here and just can't wait to become a citizen, because he wishes to escape permanently from a system of castes, nepotism.

You say that it's laughable that this country has a rule of law.

Your evidence for your claim is what? That Bernie Sanders is a loser?

Frankly, kid, your view is that of a provincial. The problem with most people who define themselves as "progressives" even if they despise progress, is that only perfection is worthwhile to them, and what's notable, is the intellectual and moral solipsism they embrace that insists that their view of perfection, and only their view of perfection is, um, perfect.

The rest of us live in the real world, and we don't seek perfection. I'm not looking for the messiah, Bernie Sanders or otherwise; I'm looking for a world where people interact and look outward as much as inward.

Anybody can scream "injustice!" when they don't get their way. It's not very clear, nonetheless, that they are doing anything more than asserting that their view of justice is the only view, and thus are willing to create injustice.

The Constitution of the United States is more than 200 years old. No other written Constitution has survived as long. It has managed to evolve with the times.

Now, I think most of us think that some Supreme Court decisions have been wrong; I would certainly agree that the courts responsible for Citizens United, for Bush v. Gore, etc are wrong, as were Dred Scott, and Plessy v. Ferguson long before them. That however, doesn't imply a right to violence, nor does it make everyone who claim that these cases are or were the end of the world right.

Now, there was one instance where people who wished to disregard the outcome of an election took forceful action to overturn it. As it happened six hundred thousand people died in combat as a result.

In nearly every other case, we, as a people, have generally respected the law. This doesn't mean the law is perfect; nor does it mean that the law is always right, but even if you are personally clueless about the privilege of living in the United States under its system of Government, I assure you that there are many people who are far less provincial who get it.

Now, I'm familiar with the fact that many Sanders supporters are unfamiliar with the contents of science books; and now I'm left to wonder if they are also unfamiliar with the contents of history books or books on current affairs. Do you know what Nigeria has gone through? India? Sri Lanka? China? Are you remotely aware that India and China alone contain all most half of the world's population?

And you're complaining because a bunch of two bit paper towel salesmen, the Kochs, can run TV ads and contribute to Party politics. It seems to me that they're getting theirs. They have a violent racist as a candidate, who if elected, will destroy international relations, as well the economic prospects of everyone, billionaire and minimum wage earner alike.

And your reaction to this? THE COUNTRY'S CORRUPT BECAUSE PEOPLE DON"T KNOW SANDERS IS GOD!!!!!

Bull. As an environmentalist, I can securely say that he has no idea what he's talking about.

From what I see, the people here screaming to overturn the results of an election, the one in which Ms. Clinton strongly leads, are simple thugs. I have no use for them. And if they hate Ms. Clinton so much that they are willing to advance the cause of another thug, Trump, so be it. I believe my country will nonetheless do better. We suffered two Bushes, but our country self corrected with William Clinton and Barack Obama, and both of those Presidencies have restored my faith in my country, even if provincials don't get it.

Take your little ball and go home. This country will survive without your help.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
