2016 Postmortem

A few years ago, I posted a piece here stating that Revolution was coming to this country in my lifetime. I am up in age. I said that it might be peaceful, or it might be violent, but that it was coming.
People of all political stripes are pissed. They are sick and tired of being stepped on by those we keep electing to office who promise to make things better, but don't.
It is clear that Roberta Lange used voice votes to her advantage in Nevada to ensure that she got her way. She did not do the right thing by refusing to have a standing division. The delegates rightly saw what she was attempting to do, and they were angry that the deck was stacked against them.
DWS is doing the same thing with committee makeup at the DNC later this year. She has appointed three of Bernie's suggestions to a supermajority of Hillary's. She has stacked the rules committee.
Bernie is going to take this campaign to the convention. And if DWS doesn't decide that Bernie supporters get a proportional representation on committees and doesn't chair that meeting fairly, then what you saw in Nevada will look like a love fest compared to what will happen in Philly.
Revolution is coming. One way or the other. The oligarchs better take note.
