@DavidDuhon I agree completely with you on all of that. I think Bernie is the only one who can beat Trump, by giving hope to the usual low income non-voters and getting them to turn out in a general election, as well as some of Trump's supporters who are left out of the economy and angry with the status quo. Those people would have voted for him in 2016 if the Dems had not nominated Hillary, but they voted for Trump hoping for change and believing his lies. If Bernie does not win I give up hope in change thru national electoral politics and agree it has to come with movements outside of the electoral system, due to how bought and corrupt that system is.

I think the Occupy movement gave us a glimpse of what that might look like and have to be.
