Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Wall Street & America 2.0
The stunning ascent of Bernie Sanders portends far more than a hard-fought Democratic primary. Its greater implication, whether Sanders wins or loses, is that America's crony capitalism will no longer go unchallenged. Thus Hillary Clinton and her husband, along with many others, are increasingly trapped by the wealth, credentials, and insider status they have pursued so fervently - because they derive from a corruption whose nature and consequences can no longer be concealed. America's financial elites are now so corrupt, arrogant, and predatory that political leaders beholden to them can't even pretend to deliver economic or political security, much less fairness or progress.
And now, finally, Americans are running out of patience. In addition to Bernie Sanders, there's Elizabeth Warren, Zephyr Teachout, and even movies - The Big Short has (deservedly) grossed $100 million. Everything suggests that American politics is now truly, fundamentally, up for grabs - a hugely exciting but also terrifying prospect. In America, the Great Depression yielded Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal; but in Europe, it created Hitler and Mussolini. America's reaction against its corruption and decline could show us at our best - or our worst.

Thanks for the welcome. I used to post here a couple of years ago but I couldn't remember my login name so I had to start all over. lol I haven't quite got the hang of it yet as I've already been banned from a Hillary group when I posted a humorous remark (my 10th post) in one of their threads by accident (I didn't know there was a Hillary group). What I thought was amusing they evidently did not and evidently you aren't allowed to post unless you agree with everyone else. 
I haven't been banned yet from a Sanders thread (don't know if I posted in one yet). Hopefully I'll get the hang of it again. lol Have a great week and thanks again for the welcome.
