What's Reality Got to Do With It? ...Or Bolsheviks for the Apparatchick

...In this first primary a lot of people, many young ones with no sense of history among them, are excited by Bernie Sanders because they see him as revolutionary and anti-establishment.  I am sitting here wondering what exactly that means.  The man has been suckling at the establishment tit for 25 years; he has been in congress for twenty effing five years ()!, even if representing the tail end of its distribution.  He is the establishment.


We've been living on hope for eight years while the world has been falling apart around us, and all some people seem to be able to do is vote for Napoleon?   ...Both Trump and Bernie are certainly populists and would surely win if they ran together... ...Fate help us either way.
