(2,335 posts)Corporations v People. The RNC long ago tethered themselves to the corporations. Now the democratic establishment is doing the same to preserve their creature comforts. Neither really really give a damn about people. Nature hates a vacuum --enter Bernie and the new politicians following him. Pledging fealty to the people and not corporations will be a thing, very soon.
The DNC is dead man walking. It just doesn't know it yet.
Bernie has a very good chance of pulling this off as the race leaves the poverty / low info voter states. If he fails this year, President Trump will assure a clean sweep of all third way corporate Dems out of office within 4 years. Then Bernie's successor will walk in with a favorable congress without much effort as the boomers will have died out in sufficient numbers to let the millenials take politics where they want
