(62,325 posts)people which suits those desperately trying to hang on to power. Just as the LU students have been taught that the Left is the enemy, the Left has been taught that THEY are the enemy.
This has kept the voters divided for decades, making it impossible for the PEOPLE to control their government.
Every election they bring up a few issues, the ones Bernie pointed out as differences he has with those people.
That's ALL they talk about, distracting from the larger issues that affect ALL the people.
I saw it today on CNN AGAIN, we now have them focusing on ONE issue, AGAIN, with Hillary 'coming out strong' as they say, on THAT issue, a safe position for any DEM, while no one asks her about The Keystone Pipeline, an issue that will harm this country for decades to come.
Bernie exposed this tactic, going past those few issues reserved for every election, then of course nothing is done about until they can be used again in the next election. And he got them thinking about it, and as we see, some of them ARE thinking about.
And not just this Pastoral Adviser, in the Reddit thread there are others who are currently students there who are also now aware of the tactics.
And they will tell others and soon those in power will find that their old tactics are not working anymore.
Because the people care about the issues they DON'T want to talk about.
But we ARE going to talk about them, because we know that the when the people are united their government will have to represent THEM, not a few obscenely wealthy Corporations.
