Little bird landing on Sanders' podium a sign from heaven ?

World Socialist Web Site on crisis of our two party system





    The Democratic Party -corrupt as it is - is not a mechanical thing absolutely predetermined to nominate Hillary Clinton as president of the United States.

   " Socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders is not naive in thinking he can win the nomination, reform this pro-war, pro-Wall St.. ruling class, still human political machine ?

      A little thing called the Zeitgeist makes this the year of the Anti-Establishment Voter.

        While Bernie Sanders is calling for " political revolution "  neo-Democrat  , Hillary Clinton is clearly the Queen of the Status Quo. Why should any half serious supporter of Sanders ( I intend to vote for him in the late April Democratic Primary in Rhode Island )  make such an unprincipled switch to Hillary if she finally wins the Democratic Party nomination ?

        A presidential candidate who can be so humiliated in so many state primaries and caucuses - and still is as complacent of victory as Hillary- is a clinical case of denial and hubris.

       The pro-establishment news media here in the United States clearly favors Hillary. It is always slighting or disparaging Bernie Sanders victories. I guess the ruling class prefers Hillary's  stale " identity politics " to Bernie Sanders' " democratic socialism " .

     As Karl Marx said the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class. Socialism   as  anathema  is the ruling idea in capitalist besotted America. Even Bernie's moderate " democratic socialism " .

     Was that little bird that landed on the podium while Sanders was speaking a sign from heaven ?
