Sanders' Surge Marks Public Outrage With Rigged System

[Sir X]

His successful grassroots insurgency demonstrates popular revulsion with corrupt U.S. political establishment

Bernie Sanders' campaign is something that we have never seen: a candidate for president who is relying on small contributions from millions of supporters rather than corporate money, and successfully challenging someone who has all the power and money of the Democratic Party establishment. It is powered by a grassroots movement of mostly young activists using social media. The Hillary Clinton campaign is in panic mode; no more are they looking ahead to the general election, the focus is on Sanders approaching in the rear-view mirror. Clinton's policy positions and speech become more calibrated for the progressive primary voter. She declares, after some pressure, that she "won't cut Social Security" -- an upgrade from the previous, equivocal, "no plans to cut Social Security."

Mi ah tell unnu seh Babylon politricks rigged lang time. Democrat/Republican shitstem come in like PNP/JLP....CORRUPT

Tings come to a pass now where the Plutocrats & Big Business control Congress....and actually write the laws via lobbyists. Oligarchs buying political office is now a NORMAL & ACCEPTABLE practice.

Alongside dat the Military Industrial Complex assures perpetual WAR. The US has its 2 longest running wars now SIMULTANEOUSLY over the past 15 years. Regime change is now OPENLY declared at the drop of a hat...and more war is on the horizon

Alongside dat the mainstream media is big propaganda machine....they do not practice journalism...mainly cheer-lead government policy...as long as it's in favor of big corporate interests. Just 4-5 large corporations control the "mainstream media"....There is no independent "mainstream media" outlet

All this is enabled by a substantially dumb John Public focused on trinket acquisition and "reality TV"/internet garbage...
JP is befuddled by the fast disappearing middle class and rapidly growing income/wealth inequality

The above reflects the decadence of a declining empire. The US needs a modern day FDR to have a chance at a decisive reset .....but dat nuh look possible at di moment

Sad really...but mek di frog dem gwaan bwile
