Representing Us, Not Them

BERNIE SANDERS should probably throw in the towel and start working for Hillary, but he has a message, and he wants to make sure that it is heard at the Democrat convention, and perhaps even makes it way into the party platform. He says that the political and economic system is rigged by the one percent, for the one percent, and to the exclusion of the ninety nine percent. You would think that ninety nine percent of the American people would agree, and elect him president. There is a mountain of evidence substantiating what Senator Sanders says, and yet, no other presidential candidate is even talking about it, which is why Bernie feels that he must. Sanders says that what the United States needs is nothing less than a political revolution. Thomas Jefferson would doubtless agree, and so, you would think, should most living Americans. Most living Americans, it seems, are having a hard time trying to figure out what to do; voting for Hillary or Trump either one being unthinkable. One option is to write in the name of Bernie Sanders, and elect him president with a massive nationwide write in campaign. (The Ted Cruz people probably feel the same way.) If something isn't done, and fast, then we the American people will be stuck between a rock and a hard place, Clinton or trump, corruption or craziness, take your pick. Our political revolution must consist in the removal of money from politics, and greatly enhanced oversight by we the people of our huge financial services industry, outsourcing through necessity the task to our employees, the U.S. government. The sooner somebody besides Sanders starts talking about our long overdue political and economic revolution, the sooner we'll have someone to vote for who really does represent us, the ninety nine percent people, and not them, the elite one percent.
