Pendulums swing, it's basic

[Rebkeh]

Attempts to hold the pendulum in place before it's done moving are disruptive to its process.

The Bernmentum will not be slowed.

1. Yes

Go Bernie! We need to work for the people, instead of making the rich, richer!

[Martin Eden]

2. I hope the fulcrum is where you think it is.

Over the last several decades I've witnessed the goalposts moved further and further to the right.

If the pendulum swings between neoliberalism and rightwingnuttism, after 8 years of Obama the momentum would be swinging back towards the feces throwing monkeys we're seeing in Rethuglican debates.

3. I think the actual fulcrum will

be uncovered eventually, and climate change will force our hands. But that's neither here nor there at this time.

The choice in this election, both the primary and general, is not between neoliberalism and rightwingism - that's the projection. It's the narrative they want us to follow and it's illusory.

No, this is democracy on the left vs fascism on the right and it's blindingly clear who wins that contest.

[Martin Eden]

4. "democracy on the left vs fascism on the right"

True that.

Hopefully it's also blindingly clear who wins that contest. In the general election we need a much better Dem turnout than we're seeing in the primaries.

5. We can thank the media for low turn out

And then we circle back. Lol

Edit: All kidding aside, I am confident the majority of Americans want democracy, regardless of party. We are not going to vote for fascism, not as a nation. It's not who we are nor who we want to be. A relative few people want it but they are a tiny faction within the broader populace.

6. Democracy on the left vs. fascism on the right

And Hillary everywhere!

[Rebkeh]

7. In this context, I'd put her in the oligarchy category. On the right. nt

But all over the place, yes. There is that for sure.
