2016 Postmortem

That bit never gets old or any less true. I wish Carlin was still around because you know he would be a vehement Bernie supporter because he understood how the system has been rigged for so long that most people underestimate how bad it is and continue to elect these establishment candidates who make several hundred thousand dollars for a short speech and claim that it's a smear to ask if those payoffs might skew ones point of view.
