The future of the Bernie Sanders' " political revolution " after stunning Rhode Island victory


    I was hardly surprised by the margin of the Bernie Sanders victory in the Rhode Island Democratic   Primary Tuesday. I did vote for Bernie- but being a little cynical about the " political establishment " here , I took a digital cell phone photo of my ballot choices.

   I was skeptical about that first Brown University poll showing Hillary Clinton winning by nearly double digits here. The poll released just Sunday before the state primary seemed downright compromised in intellectual integrity for an Ivy League educational institution.

  Like Hillary, Brown University is dedicated to fatuous " identity politics " while working class people in Rhode Island of all races and ethnics, both genders, all sexual orientations, are hardly recovered from the Great Recession.

    The big picture of the 2016 election highlights the " angry working class ", the anti-establishment voter.

   They will no longer tolerate unacceptable economic inequality here in wealthiest country in the world. Nor are alienated working class Americans enthusiastic about the New Colonialism-of which the 15 year old " war on terrorism " is mostly a cover.

   The " political revolution " inspired by " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders really demands an independent third party- similar in many aspects to the British Labor Party.
