Trump is just a symptom of corrupted, broken systems

The media wants you to believe that it's all Trump and just Trump. However, the real problem is the litany of corrupted systems from our tax code that allowed his father to gift him millions of dollars by the age of 8, to our education system that admitted him to U Penn when he clearly was not qualified, to the banks that allowed him to operate when he was bankrupt, to the TV networks that boosted his fiction with "The Apprentice", to the Republican party that threw away their integrity, and to the national political media that gave him free air time.

ALL of these systems enabled Trump to be where he is today. Trump is not nearly smart enough nor hard working enough to get where he his on his own. This is why defeating him while leaving these systems in place is pointless. Why? Because these systems can, and will, create another Trump, possibly, an even worse Trump on many levels.

The future of the Democratic party has to be fighting to bring down and change these systems, not just defeating Trump.

One thing is pretty obvious right out of the gate regarding Bernie...

The corporate media's coverage of him is a lot more biting than it was in 2016. He's not the funny uncle any more. His core positions are largely unchanged since 2016 which was not a problem back then, but now, it's cries of Socialism, radical left, and gift wrapping a second term for Trump.

I supported Hillary in 2016, but today, I'm leaning heavily towards Bernie, very, very, very heavy lean. I'm just tired of the corrupted systems and fake narratives which are much bigger threats than Trump. If we don't take out them out, they will always find another Trump.
