Watching the D establishment
spew venom at Bernie in the same way that the R establishment spews on Trump. Remarkable similarity.
The one big difference, the one variable that requires some explanation:
At the start of this campaign it was a safe assumption that both establishments would
pull out all the stops and
break all the rules to protect their Crowned Heirs, Jeb and Hillary.
Both elites did pull out all the stops, but the R establishment DID NOT CHANGE ANY RULES to halt Trump. The Ds are now showing their bloody teeth as they break all the rules to stop Bernie.
Why did the Repooflicans fail to change rules? What weakness allowed them to give
actual voters a moment of influence?
= = = = =
The emergence of "surprise" outsiders as the favorites in both R and D shouldn't have been a surprise. Both establishments have been focusing on donors instead of voters for 30 years. They have worked ASTONISHINGLY HARD to eliminate all live voters from elections, leaving only the mechanical
Rbots and Dbots. Unfortunately they didn't eliminate voting itself, so smart and live outsiders were able to appeal to live voters. Bernie and Trump are
ALIVE.
An outsider needs more than life to get a real movement going. The SUBJECT that Trump and Sanders use was also an inevitable result of the Rbot/Dbot strategy. All politicians must obey Goldman. Goldman wants to kill the non-Chosen and infinitely enrich the Chosen. Both parties have accomplished Goldman's assignment with magnificent success.
Directly analogous to
share value vs profit. Before 1980 parties were doing normal business, competing for customers with improved products. Feedback worked to keep them focused on the customers. Now the customers have been eliminated. Only the share value matters. The parties are competing to increase Goldman's commission. From a Goldman's eye view, live voters do not exist at all, and the Rbots and Dbots are just a production expense that needs to be minimized for max share value.
This still doesn't answer why the R party slipped up in its sacred duty to Goldman. I'm sure there will be literal Hell to pay for this error.
