Hillary and Bernie

Six month ago, Hillary Clinton was a shoe-in as the democrat presidential choice for 2016. Since that time, Bernie Sanders has been galvanizing support from thousand of people on the left of the party, in a way reviving “Occupy Wall-Street”, becoming a threat to Mrs. Clinton, and showing that politicians are clearly out of touch with what the public truly want. 

We're told that the richest 0.1 percent control more wealth than the bottom 90 percent of the American public, and this while the real income of that same 90 percent has virtually remained stagnant since 1980. So what is American electorate waiting for to react and ask for what's due them?

Well, one could argue that the 10 percent better off would for sure vote republican, but that's not even the case; at any rate, most of the 90 percent should vote for what is likely to help them most, namely the Democratic Party, but that's not the case. Half of the nation has blinders on, either through Fox News indoctrination or religious ideologies like the Christian Right, and won't help themselves by voting left. I would for sure vote that way if I were in their shoes!

This makes me return to Hillary and Bernie and my last word for the day is that the old Vermonter is onto something huge and doesn't fully appreciate it yet!
