(13,877 posts)This election cycle, I believe, is a 100th Monkey event. Bernie was the reluctant leader. That's how I know we was the "chosen one". He didn't want to, but he's fighting like hell now he's in there.
There will be more. More people will wake up. Clinton was the Republican's Reagan. And Clinton v. 2 will sell us down the river, to the tune of 6 figure speeches. That's the river.
We have the age old worker/management issue. Bernie marches with workers. (note that Union Leaders have become Corporate...Hillary backers.) Hillary speaks words of glee to Goldman Sachs. This is a chasm a mile wide. There is no compromise. The American People are going to have to throw in with one of them. The third option, well, just is not.
But it is happening. I call this the Let Them Eat Cake period. We know what comes next.
