For me the issue is our fervent but not reasonable hope that somehow we can make the present system work. Very simply, it’s not likely that any established politician is going to have the stones to bring about the radical changes needed in our political system as it exists today. And I think that’s a really big problem. Today’s so-called progressive Senators and Representatives turn themselves inside-out just to get re-elected. And after they succeed at that, then what? They get to stay in D.C. another few years, all the while trying to change a cheap hot dog into a tasty filet mignon, that’s what!
One of the many reasons the Donald won is that he threw traditional politics in the trash heap. And the main thing Bernie had going for him was that he represented change in the status quo. Trump was elected for a lot of reasons but most important to his victory was that he represented the change we so desperately need in this country.
