The theme of " corruption and incompetence " of elected officials -not the fundamental rottenness of capitalism " - prevailed in the local politics of Rhode Island where neo-con Hillary pal Governor Gina Raimondo defeated insurgent " progressive " Matt Brown just as decisively -with the help of much more money . They do not want any Bernie Sanders " socialist " surprises here in state owned by the New Democrats - a long way from the old New Deal Democrats.
Bernie Sanders won the Democratic primary election here in April 2016 . Gina Raimondo - in contempt of popular will - led the Rhode Island delegation to the Democratic National Convention -and delivered it to " Wall St. Hillary ". During which Sanders supporters ( the beginning of the New McCarthyism ) were smeared as having " a propensity for violence ".
What was really ironic in the Raimondo vs .Brown contest was that Brown ads accused Governor Raimondo - the darling of Planned Parenthood - of being soft on abortion rights. Famous feminist Gloria Steinem endorsed Matt Brown . How no-nonsense PROGRESSIVE is bourgeois feminism !
The " progressive " Democrat candidates for public office invariably offer up their pristine virtuous selves - their narcissistic ME - as THE SOLUTION to systemic problems . At last they tell us that we finally have a TRUE FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE with them in office. Just RE-ELECT please !
Nothing wrong with THE PEOPLE except that capitalism divides us into antagonistic classes.
