    Bernie would have challenged the billionaire classes power and hoarding of wealth. The democrats knew he was a slam dunk against trump, but chose to risk losing the election in favor of protecting the status quo.

      I totally agree.

      This is the problem with American politics.

      The lesser evil is still evil, yet good people want to convince themselves otherwise.

      It’s all about avoiding conflict and maintaining a negative peace. Dr. King had a lot to say on it.

      Fuck the moderate white.

        Fuck the moderate white.

        Especially since it’s a lie that they’re moderate. If you’re taking a global view, they’re actually right-wing. The moderate, centrist positions are what Bernie was advocating. The Overton Window in US politics has moved so far to the right it’s ridiculous.
