(13,877 posts)what the rich and powerful do on a consistent basis. And it's not party...this is a Class War...the haves vs. the have nots. Pure and simple crosses all demographic and political spectrums. Bernie was for the Have Nots and the rest of the party was for the Haves...Establishment and SDs and DNC. Not to mention the MSM...they are the ultimate in Corporate Contrtol.
Social issues pale in comparison to the Monied Connected ... that's how it's rigged. And has been for a very long time...ever since the Bailout.
I hope this leads to an organizing period of candidates being willing or able to follow Bernie's lead. Now it's time to organize locally, since the Movement has become defined and has a leader. That's what was wrong with Occupy, IMO. I know its cool to be egalatarian, but it's not smart in this culture.
