I
heard a bit of the show about an hour ago. He admitted that both the
electoral college and the Democratic superdelegates are specifically
designed because they don't trust we the people. And that the Dem Party
is further designed to support itself over we the people. That it no
longer represents we the people, and does represent their moneyed
backers, is indisputable. And we're supposed to become a part of that?
Sanders
only ran as a Democrat because if you're not in one or the other of the
two major parties you have no chance. Since you like to get at the core
issue, that's it: the two-party system itself is corrupt. To have a
vibrant democracy of the people requires a multi-party system that
allows for those other Parties to actually have a chance to compete in
the system.
The Green Party, for example, has been
around a long time and done all the required things to get on ballots
etc. That is, they agree with you on taking the long view and working
toward it. And they are very much aligned with the Sanders agenda. But
after all that work they still have no real chance in the rigged
two-party system. That is, unless the likes of Sanders and Warren
realize that if they want to put people before Party they need to either
join the Green Party or form a new one.
There is
absolutely no hope left for the Democratic Party after a long, slow
struggle to change it, to wit, the Progressive Caucus. Year after year
their agenda and budgets are right out of Sanders' playbook and they
never get enough votes to matter or even change the majority corporate
Dems one iota. To suggest that even more long effort at Dem Party reform
is part of the problem, not the solution.
