The American political system is imploding - not just the Republican Party

  As a registered voter in the United States and a critical supporter of ” socialist ” Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont- who recently won yet another ” surprise ” upset primary victory here in Rhode Island- I see a general crisis of the two party system in the United States

   The news media – over-vilifying Republican Trump in order to make hawkish, Wall St. Hillary seem more inevitably presidential-has failed to sense the coming implosion of the Democratic Party.

   Working class white voters inclined in the past to vote Democrat do not find Hillary Clinton a very credible candidate. All the enthusiasm and passion is for Bernie Sanders and his message of ” political revolution ” .

   Bernie focuses on unacceptable economic inequality rather than effete and fatuous ” identity politics “.

   How can those Bernie Sanders voters ever accept that Queen of the capitalist  Status Quo , defender of the New Colonialism, Hillary Clinton ?

   The neo-Democrats have betrayed the FDR pro-labor, pro-working class tradition for decades now. So even in the Democratic Party the chickens are coming home to roost.

   Come November ” democracy in America ” might be only in the streets – after this long ” Democracy Spring ” for followers of Bernie Sanders.
