US not Ready for Bernie Sanders' Policies

After Sanders' significant loss in Michigan, after the initial feelings of loss, it dawned on me that the Corporatocracy/Establishment, would never permit a democratic socialist rise to the highest office in the land.

Despite obvious rigged primaries, corporate media propaganda, and centrist haranguing, the Bernie grassroots movement, a working class struggle for human rights, like universal healthcare, maintains a massive presence across the electorate. One only needs to read the polls that the medicare for all policy is extremely popular across the country. Though ranking high in the polls, voters of the older generation, would rather see a status quo; that is continued interventionist war, unfair trade, and draconian immigration policies, in the guise of pleasant tweets, and the old “American Exceptionalism” facade of normalcy.

We should never underestimate the sheer power of the corporate machine. Unfortunately, the MSM have neocon anti-Trump resistors acting as the new intellectual opinion leaders of the left. Warmongers like David Frum, leading the charge against Trump, and the so-called self-recognised “left”, cheer-leading him on like sleeping sheep on the way to the slaughter house. But can we blame the people for this?

An old argument but continues to be a relevant one, is the MSM no longer talks truth to power, and follows the dictates of their corporate masters. It has become more obvious now, that despite Joe Biden's abysmal record, pro war, fascist crime bill, and blatant lies, the MSM pundits never call him out on it. Again, despite the poor mans obvious dementia, no MSM pundit or DNC leader will call it, and continue to cover these flaws over with, at times, silly propaganda. This has brought me to speculation about the corporate machine.

First of all, never put it past HRC, crime boss of the DNC elites, an her following of thugs, liars and faux-feminists, to pull a magnificent sham at the democratic convention. It is blatantly in front of our noses, that Joe Biden is a seriously flawed candidate. Hillary has never left the stage, and as sociopaths go, will stop at nothing to re-gain power. After witnessing the magnificent strategic move by the elites before Super Tuesday, really, anything the establishment does, at this point, is not out of the question.

During this writing, I didn't want to come across as too cynical. But the power of America's “democratic machine” has been around a long time. It's power is immense, and its resources endless. To be sure, its power of the MSM pouring forth lie after lie to sway public opinion, plays a massive role influencing the American people.

Rather than a revolution, (which it really isn't) it appears that most people would rather go back to sleep under a president that presents well, and was seen standing next to Obama for eight years. We certainly underestimated Biden's name recognition when it came to president Obama. Many people politically, refuse to move past this veneer of falsity, and refuse to look at the issues, policies, and Biden's right-wing, conservative history.

Sanders' greatest following is young voters up to 40 years of age. These people realise the absolute need for change – particularly when it comes to universal health care.

Although a strong and persuasive movement, consisting mainly of America's working class and youth, the status quo will prevail.

Change is a difficult notion to face for many, even at the best of times.

Bernie Sanders' movement will prevail in the future, when many more people realise that normalcy, the status quo, doesn't help their basic day to day lives.

Unfortunately, (hope I'm wrong) America is not there yet.
