How can " political revolution " ( Sanders ) settle for the status quo ( Hillary ) ?

 
      I  heard on the radio that my favorite " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders is the likely winner in the Wisconsin Democratic Primary. I do expect to vote for him in the Rhode Island primary later this month.

       All the fire and inspiration- all that disparaged " emotion " -is with Bernie Sanders and his very " democratic " mob. How can " political revolution " settle for the status quo ? And hawkish Hillary, pro-Wall St. Hillary, pro-Neo-Colonialism Hillary, pro-death penalty Hillary is the Queen of the Status Quo.

       This is the year of the anti-establishment voter. Even over-vilified-and smeared- Donald Trump has a certain " charm " for the alienated white working class.

      But Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont rises above fatuous neo-liberal identity politics and focuses on the social justice issue of unacceptable economic inequality.

       Interesting and encouraging that Bernie was endorsed by movie director Spike Lee ( " X " ) and the celebrity black astrophysicist Neil De Grasse Tyson.

        American Black Muslim Malcolm X made the connection between racism and capitalism, between racism and U.S. imperialism way back in 1965.
