This is what gives me the terrible feeling every time I vote for the lesser of 2 evils
You seem incapable of supporting a party that actually gives you what you want. Trump supporters are easily convinced that he is giving them what they want.
None of them are giving me what I want.
@gigihein Well forgetting about the two wall street parties, who do you have? I know the Green Party is down there. Is there a socialist party? Or is the problem that no other group can afford the cost of having a presidential candidate. If that is the case then revolution is your only hope.
I vote Green in Canada but knowing that there are right wing conservative environmentalists in the Green Party stops me now being a member. I met some of those guys when I was the party secretary.
No party here has any interest in the homeless because they can't vote.
@rogerbenham help build one. I know you and I don't always see eye to eye and butt heads now and then. But we aren't that far apart at all. I think your experience and wisdom could go a long way within the comments in this group in helping them get the proper message out.
@William_Mary Well the problem seems to lie in basic USA thinking.You had Bernie saying mostly the right things. He had enormous grass roots support, support from loads of ordinary people who put their trust in him but as you rightly surmised when it came to the point he retreated into the arms of the supposedly left wing Wall Street party, even worse putting his support behind a definite Wall Street boy. There must be so many people now wondering why they bothered giving him all that money. The only way you will get out of this trap is have an independent candidate saying what he said but not dependent on the Democrats. This requires a movement combining MLK ideals, Bernie Ideals, Me Too, and that other big movement that you had.If I'd given $100 to Bernie I would be totally pissed off with his capitulation.
@rogerbenham what does Sanders and the correlation you build around him have to do with the SEP in Canada?
@William_Mary Sorry, not understood. What is SEP?
@rogerbenham Socialist Equality Party. If you were to click on the link I provided it takes you to their page for Canada at Facebook.
Greenwald correctly spells out how Sanders, if he was sincerely fighting against the establishment, could have taken his campaign into a 3rd party or ran as an independent. I personally believe he could have used either the Green Party or the SEP to do this. He had the public support and contribution base of donations as a vast weapon to do this on a Ross Perot like strategy and platform.
Right out of the gate he should have spent money on half an hour of TV air time with an apology to his supporters from 2016 and laid out the entire truth of what happened as far as the rigging aspect, then joining in on the Russiagate false narrative. Hence my statement of sincerity.
In order to pull off a wide scale political scam, you have to have someone to give the public a false sense of hope to keep that public in line. That's his and the squads part in the agenda.
Look at how well it worked for Trump. First you pull them in, then they march in step even as they get shit on. I called it from the very beginning. From the fake disdain of the republican party towards him, to how he would betray his supporters. His supporters fail to accept the betrayal as the party itself got all they wanted from Trump. Which is basically the direction the republican party has been attempting to take the country for decades.
