Damn the Status Quo - Vote for Bernie Sanders

The status quo in America means maintaining the current course of malaise, mediocrity, and despair.  Anger seethes in people and so much so their minds become inoperative.  Some lock onto flashing-lights substitutes such as Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton who claim many things which any reasoning person can easily see will never happen.

Many take various positions regarding Bernie Sanders but no-one has said he is promising things he will not do.  Some may doubt his ability to deliver them but few, if any, doubt his determination to try.  Thus far, there hasn't been a reason to believe a word from any of the others.

There's not a reason to provide citations because you know already these things are true.  The ones who cling blindly to Trump or Clinton do it largely for the same reasons but neither involve any significant measure of discernment.  There's little one can say to them because they're interested in security and not information.  Giving them more information only makes them more insecure because they don't understand it and that drives them closer toward the poor solutions in Trump or Clinton.

(Bevis:  he just called Hillary Clinton poor!   Snicker, snicker.)

(Butthead:  yah, he did.  What a stupid jerk.  Clinton is rich like the Vatican Bank.)

(Bevis:  yeah, she has more money than God!)

(Butthead:  well, no, Bevis, not exactly.  No-one has more money than God.  That's why Donald Trump wants to get close to him.)


Example from Facebook:

He:  people have to work for whatever they get.

Me:  Donald Trump got a million dollars from his ol' daddy to get started.

He:  life is unfair.

Me:  ah, ok.  I'm following you now.  You have to work for whatever you get unless life is unfair and someone gives you a million dollars.

He:  no answer.


That writer has a good mind but he wastes it on simple platitudes and sophistry.  Lotho is more a Goldwater Republican so it's informative to talk to him but the Dark Side Republicans are impossible.  They're so full of anger and hatred no-one can get near them.  There's obviously deep sadness underneath the anger but no chance anyone can help when there's such a monstrous Pink Floydian Wall around them.

Those ones give us the most surreal irony of the election in their cacophonous demand to secure the status quo when this is precisely the source of their misery.  They use a magic Obama brush to blame anything bad on him and then they fly off into a Disneyland fantasy world in which statism is good.  Makes no sense whatseover since these are the same people who say a powerful Fed is bad.  See above about simple platitudes and sophistry.

Tell you what, Hayseed Harry.  If you're hungry, just eat a nuclear submarine.  Works the same with Tridents in the UK because David Cameron doesn't give a fuck either.  Because ... all together now ... life is unfair.


The vote from the Distant Northern Frontier was cautiously supportive of Bernie Sanders but that's not unusual thinking in questioning anyone's ability to overcome the corrupt advantage of hugely-corrupt candidates who milk the campaign for money rather than morality.  America once reveled in its ability to put upstarts out of nowhere into the White House and Abraham Lincoln came from a log cabin in Kentucky, right?

Bernie Sanders wasn't rich at birth and he isn't rich now.  The absence of profiteering in his career shows better than any speech he could make about his noble commitment.  From the beginning, Sanders is the only one who could take that honorable position while the others have fallen far short as they grovel for shekels in the most brazen possible ways.


America has the potential to restore pride and fairness in this country, both of which have been sorely lacking for many years, and Bernie Sanders is the one to do it.
