We are living inside a "Matrix" of delusion in this country, created by the Corrupt Media and their transglobal corporate masters who have looted us blind already and intend to continue using our military for their global resource wars, while completely ignoring not only the massive poverty that they have created, and the massive devastation in the Middle East, but ALSO ignoring the imminent peril to our only planet from overuse of fossil fuels and other environmental destruction over the last one hundred years.
ANYONE who takes large amounts of money from these corporate behemoths to gain political power is in THEIR power. That is the reality. Sanders has been pointing this out, time and again, because it is the fundamental reality of our country and our political system. And he deserves much credit for pointing it out during this campaign in as polite a way as possible, re Secretary ("pay-to-play"
Hillary Clinton.
The REALITY is coming home to us. Our bought-and-paid-for political leaders are going to allow our very planet to go down for the count, and become uninhabitable, in obedience to their uber-rich donors, so they can have a cushy berth on the "Titanic." And the hoi-polloi on the lower decks can just drown. They truly don't care.
Sanders stands with the "hoi-polloi." Yes, this is "negative" against those in power. But he also offers the solution: a revolution to restore government "of, by and for the people." That is not "negative." That is how things should be. The human race may not make it--that is a very real possibility, at this point--but at least the reason won't be our lack of effort and our failure to stop the mind-boggling corruption and irresponsibility and malfeasance of the Few.
