UNDERSTANDING THE SANDERS REVOLUTION
Let me see if I get this correctly:
Bernie Sanders went on demonstrations in the early 1960s, but then took a
50-year break until 2014.So he skipped the anti-Vietnam War movement, the
women’s movement and the other critical social movements of his generation.Now
he supports working people, but thinks its ok to bomb them in other
countries.And he’s for democracy, but he supports monarchies and Israeli
apartheid.He’s for government transparency, but wants Snowden to stand
trial.He’s independent, but has always supported the corporate Democratic Party
candidates.He’s against police violence, but thinks the police are a socialist
institution.He voted against the Iraq War, but then voted to fund it.He’s
battling the Washington establishment, but he’s a lifelong professional
politician.He’s against Hillary Clinton, but has pledged to support her after
she wins the primary.He’s a democratic socialist, but assures us he will not
threaten capitalism.And he has proclaimed that his vote in Iowa was the
beginning of a Political Revolution...So - he’s getting movement activists off
the streets and signing them up to strengthen the Democratic Party, a party
that destroys progressive movements, so he can lead the revolution that will
end Democratic Party politics, in order to move to a kind of socialism that
preserves capitalism?
Makes total sense.___________________________
What a complete waste of time by left-liberals devoting their energies to
tweeting and facebooking every ten seconds during Sanders-Clinton debates,
going on and on about a Sanders' revolution. Meanwhile, death and destruction
are rained down upon people all over the world, ignored by both candidates, who
would do nothing to end it. And the environment gets more unlivable by the
month, and again neither candidate gives a shit about it and has no plan to
change things. Just as those who support, directly or indirectly, butchers like
Assad and Putin should be shunned, so too should those who more or less demand
that leftists support Sanders be, scorned and shunned. They are enemies of the
left and make no mistake about it.
