FUCK!!! So terribly disappointing but I guess not unexpected. The neoliberalism is as bad as the gop fascist. I wonder is there any hope of getting big corporate and the wealthy out of our government? If so how to do that.

My answer since the last corrupt election cycle in 2016 has been to leave the establishment elections by voting outside of it. We in no way shape or manor are going to change either of these parties by voting from within. Going back and forth has been a futile attempt. Voting in a potential progressive over the decades has also been a futile attempt. They either bow to the establishment, such as the likes of Elizabeth Warren, Al Franken, and Bernie Sanders, or are silenced to a point they either are voted out of just disappear. Never to hear of them again. These people do all the right talk but when it comes down to the walk, their votes speak a different tune. Sanders was my last straw. I spent over a year advocating for him only to be stabbed in the back. Only then did I take a hard look at his votes and his excuses to be able to see the light. "I think this bill has some good things in it" no longer fit the fight against the machine! To voice opposition towards Clinton's wall street love, allow them to rig and election on you and stand in silence while they did so, then join the false Russian narrative for them, quite disturbing! Much like Teodrose Fikre who's articles I post here often who worked on the Obama campaign, only to realize he to was hood winked. The system isn't for us, it's against us. I advocate today to vote for the Green Party. The only party that has a platform that nearly 75% of American's can identify with. The chore is to get those stuck in the illusion a 3rd party can't win and support it. It has made some strides locally and state, but it needs a kick in the ass nationally to get it on the ballot system. If we could just get that top spot the wonders could be phenomenal towards moving the country in another direction. And it can be done the same way we propelled Sanders to the top of the primary cycle in 2016. All grass roots efforts.

The continuity between parties is astonishing and very real.
