(1,309 posts)The important choice that democrats face now is who should be our candidate for President. To me this sideshow greatly distracts from that choice. It obscures our view and deflects our attention from the announced democratic candidates. This sideshow is like the roman games in the coliseum, a good way to make people ignore who is really responsible for their problems by providing entertainment. Hillary will continue to make jokes and remind us she is a woman, O'Malley will state the good things he was able to do and remind us he is an able administrator that actually got things done, and that Bernie guy will tell us who the wrong doers and what he believes and since we believe it too, we sign on for the journey. Bernie's speeches tell us whose side he is on and since we believe Hillary will stand with her class and her campaign donors, we know whatever she says she unlike Bernie and O'Malley is not on our side.
So lets not let the rich deflect our attention bu rather than singing to the choir lets go out and vote the candidate we believe is not owned by the rich.
