Bernie Sanders: Democrats Need to Wake Up
NYT ^ | 6/28/2016 | Bernie Sanders

Posted on 06/28/2016 5:48:03 PM PDT by GilGil

Let’s be clear. The global economy is not working for the majority of people in our country and the world. This is an economic model developed by the economic elite to benefit the economic elite. We need real change...

We need a president who will vigorously support international cooperation that brings the people of the world closer together, reduces hypernationalism and decreases the possibility of war. We also need a president who respects the democratic rights of the people, and who will fight for an economy that protects the interests of working people, not just Wall Street, the drug companies and other powerful special interests...

The notion that Donald Trump could benefit from the same forces that gave the Leave proponents a majority in Britain should sound an alarm for the Democratic Party in the United States. Millions of American voters, like the Leave supporters, are understandably angry and frustrated by the economic forces that are destroying the middle class.

About a month ago 50 people were killed from a terror attack in Florida. Before that an airplane disappeared when it was on its way from France to Turkey. A terror event is strongly suspected. You can conclude this because the media has a total blackout on this event. Now the airport in Instanbul has been blown up and according to Drudge is over 50.

There are so many terror attacks now that this is the best kept secret out in the open that the media does not want to talk about. It seems that hundreds of millions of Americans know they are not safe but every day Obama and company want us to believe we are wrong.

We are definitely no longer safe and Obama has lost control of the country.

Which brings me to the above article. Brexit fever has infected the US. Reading Bernie Sanders' article he writes of the economic decay in the US and somehow he says that we need to stop Trump from winning. In fact, the economic decay has sped up under Obama for 8 years and now he proposes to leave the same democrats in place for another 8 years to solve the problem of economic collapse which they have created. What a convoluted argument of madness.

Keeping America safe and creating prosperity in the US are the scaffolding of Trump's platform. This spells Trump winning in a landslide which Bernie fears. This is the only thing he has gotten right in his article.

Bernie and Donald Trump agree on the failure of global socialism but differ on the solution.

Bermnie proposes to fix it by making the USA even more socialist.

Donald Trump proposes to fix it by restoring American independence, constitutional government and capitalism.

Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary.

But it comes with a caveat: running as the candidate of the status quo isn’t enough.

Americans hate it. Its a good question whether Hillary and her minions will heed his warning.

Does Sanders actually believe the crap he says? Or does he know the results of his utopia, pie in the sky, Kumbaya BS is exactly tyranny.

Both Sanders and Warren have talked fire and damnation for year after year about the corruption of Wall Street. And yet they just endorsed Clinton who is a fully bought, paid for, and fully owned asset of Wall Street corruption.

The Democrat party is a fraud. And Sanders and Warren have just confirmed they are all in on it.

It’s been said the far-left (the old-school left before the 60s) and the far-right often agree more than disagree.

Democrats always, always, ALWAYS put their party and their foolish interests before the country.

They’re greedy little pigs who are ripe for the chaff pile.

'The Democrat party is a fraud. And Sanders and Warren have just confirmed they are all in on it. '

So. The GOP is a fraud as well. Yet come Nov millions of people will go support them. That is the nature of politics.

The one they will be supporting on the GOP side is an eccentric outsider rather than a fraud this year. The fraudsters on the GOP side don’t like him one little bit.
