It's Official -- Bernie Sanders Has Overtaken Hillary Clinton In the Hearts and Minds of Democrats

status quo power cannot change even if they have a clue. To be there is to be in an absolute trap. What we MAY be seeing is a full scale awakening, not so much a political star rising but sunshine in a fake twilight world of Madison Avenue electioneering.

For Bernie to win people have to respond to his genuine representation of issues actually abandoned by the modern scene. AND to see him as what they want which is the polar opposite of all other candidates with the exception perhaps of O'Malley who has a shorter record of facing down the Beast.

Hillary on the other both is(with women voters especially) and isn't the epitome of a current political shoe-in regardless of actual policies or positions. The affinity with the gut desires for basic economic, peace and social progress is simply weak. In comparison to all other candidates and according to the game she is strong. Strong enough to have the GOP cowering behind their rancorous senile base of mean white males. The GOP is only viable through lots of money(which Hillary can counter) crooked media(which is stacked against her) and criminal election fraud(still largely unconfronted and daring beyond the point of a coup d'etat). Which is why you have to hold your breath until her just election reaches beyond a massive vote percentage and victory actually happens. The suspense is not about winning enough votes. It is about a moderate moderately supporting some people issues candidate overcoming fraud.

Bernie however is a sea change against this noxious nauseating game that nearly ignores the voters. It won't be about nail biting and working up enthusiasm but a 100% more genuine populist upheaval.

Otherwise in a declining and discouraging political scene you will start to get more right wing vicious momentum for "change", charismatic shells shills or stars form any side or finally a truculent military takeover such as the corporate nutjobs tried against FDR. The GOP is a fraud of an organization. A good chunk of big money Dems have joined that rush over the cliff. The field is left wide open to real progressive politics(suppressed)- or angry fascist suckerdom(encouraged by big money). Constant daring attacks against representative democracy, the right to vote and them foreign invaders.

We keep saying something new can upset the apple cart. Obama sort of took advantage of that. Sanders actually would. But will it happen? It may be now, or it may just be too early to say- or it may be doomed. And it is sad, dangerous, that we are relying on a popular contest of one or two people to put the banner that millions should have raised long ago.
