"...just a fad..."

Some people, mostly Hillary supporters, say of Bernie Sanders and his supporters:

"...just a passing fad for a bunch of kids."

"...Bernie Bots who don't even know what they're talking about."

"...idiots who don't understand being pragmatic."

Or the most idiotic statement:

"...It is a bunch of people who require SOMETHING to give their lives a sense of purpose, a sense of accomplishment, a sense of power."

What a load of total crap.

This has been brewing for YEARS. Did you forget about the Occupy Movement? Snowden? Wikileaks? Did you forget the anger and frustration when the SCOTUS stepped in on an election before it was complete?

People were led into apathy with one event after another. First we had Bill Clinton who gave us happy days and wondrous claims...while killing Glass-Stegal which caused the banks to destroy our economy. We then had Bush and 9/11, wave the flag, support out troops...and destroy the economy more, give away billions in no bid contracts, and killing hundreds of thousands destabilizing the Middle East. Then we had "Hope and Change" Obama who, like Bill, made it all nice and wondrous while supporting TARP, TPP, Pipeline XL, and doing NOTHING about the Big Banks and Wall Street.

And now Hillary and Trump. We're being played! Good cop, bad cop, vote lesser evil, vote the other guy or else that guy, ignore what's going on, do what we tell you because you're afraid.

And then Sanders.

He wasn't supposed to get anywhere.

He was at 2% in first polls.

He's a Jew.

He's a democratic socialist.

He's old.

He doesn't fit ANY profile of ANY candidate that's gotten anywhere. And yet...

Veterans are behind him.

Young people are behind him.

Seniors are behind him.

Immigrants are behind him.

Blacks are behind him.

Hispanics are behind him.

Soldiers are behind him.

Progressives are behind him.

Greens are behind him.

Moderate Republicans are behind him.

Why? Because it's NOT him. It's what he's saying, what he's shown, and what he's proven.

The people are losing.

The oligarchs are controlling everything.

The DNC is as corrupt as the GOP.

The military is being killed for profit.

The Veterans are suffering for profit.

People are sick and dying for profit.

Water, air, and land are polluted for profit.

The USA is a worldwide embarrassment.

The USA is no longer a Republic but an Oligarchy.

The USA has a ruined Middle Class.

The USA is a debtor nation.

The USA profits from slave labor nations.

The USA profits from war.

The USA profits from rebuilding after war.

The USA is screwed. That's what it's about. That's what people in the MILLIONS are standing up about. And what have the two Parties done for the people?

They gave us the choice of a narcissistic arrogant oligarch or a narcissistic arrogant corporate fascist.

And those millions won't stand for that kind of CRAP anymore. They won't vote for lesser evils, because they are still evil. They won't be told to vote out of fear. They won't put aside all their ethics and morals to vote for the most unethical and immoral people. And they are sick that these two out of MILLIONS of Americans are the best? Bullshit.

That's why it damn well is a movement, a revolution, and not "a bunch of people who require SOMETHING to give their lives a sense of purpose, a sense of accomplishment, a sense of power ." If you honestly believe that you're as bad as the apologists who always said "but the King and Queen love their people" while the guillotine was raising up.
