Bernie and the Sandernistas: Into the Void

Would someone please draw me a picture? I don't understand the
confusion. Maybe I just don't see what all the ranting is about.
Bernie Sanders has decided to toss his hat in the presidential ring.
In order to have even an outside serious chance, he has to toss his
hat into one of two established, blessed and sanctioned Parties.
Naturally Bernie is unable to sell himself to the Republicans.
Besides, that room is already overloaded with eager clowns. But the
bottom line is that Bernie Sanders is wanting to run for president.
He is not talking true reform of a corrupted system. Bernie, like
Clinton and "What's his name", the other guy running, wants the job as
it now exists. That's why he's running as a Democrat, not a Socialist
or Socialist Worker, or Socialist Democrat. Any of those handles
would bring a quick end to his aspirations.
So Bernie Sanders is running a serious campaign.
And all of a sudden we start picking him apart. We poke around in his
past forty plus years of politicking, and surprise of all surprises,
we discover inconsistencies in his positions on issues.
Just what the Hell did we expect to find? Bernie Sanders is a member
in good standing in the American Corporate Empire's government.
If we're looking for a change in the American Political System, we
should be promoting a national resistance to the current "bought and
paid for" tool of the Empire. We might begin by refusing to pay tax
dollars to support murdering innocent human beings in parts of the
world we have no business being in. We might refuse to vote for any
politician who takes Corporate dollars. We might put our own names on
the ballot as candidates who would, if elected, work to dismantle this
corrupt front organization for the Corporate Empire. Millions of us
might take to the streets and block producers of murder weapons from
conducting their evil business. We might allow ourselves to be
arrested by the thousands, overloading the Justice System. Demanding
reform.
The possibilities are endless. If we had clear heads and realized
that Bernie Sanders is not going to be our knight on a white charger.
Bernie Sanders, with our backing, might push through some much needed
relief for the Working Class. But, like FDR's Programs, it will be
change for the short run. No matter what we do, as long as the
Corporate Empire is in power, we are at their mercy. If we manage to
force some concessions, they will only be temporary. So if any of us
plan to participate in the coming Circus called the Presidential Race,
we need to do it with our eyes wide open. I will vote for Bernie
Sanders knowing that if he were to win he would still be under the
control of the powerful Empire. And even voting for Sanders, I will
continue to work toward a replacement of the Corporate Empire with a
People's Government. Even saying that, I know it's a pipe dream. We
have been so brain washed that we do stuff that is in our own worst
interest. A good example is our belief that Bernie Sanders could turn
the current corrupt system around.
