Electing Bernie Sanders is America's last chance to redeem herself, to confront the Oligarchy that President Carter and so many others have warned about, to shut down the crime syndicates of GoldmanSachs and CitiGroup, of Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, to put an end to the greed and lawlessness of the corporate establishment, to break the entrenched power of the degenerate political establishment.

William Burroughs . . .

Millions of young people are fed up with shallow unworthy authority running on a platform of bullshit.

Bernie can win this, he can win this because Hillary is running on a platform of bullshit. He can win this because millions of Americans young and old are fed up with the posturing of shallow politicians like Hillary Rodham Clinton, they’re fed up with the conceit and corruption of unworthy leaders like Hillary Rodham Clinton, they’re fed up with the militarism of war machine hacks like Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Bernie is shattering the myth of upward mobility, the myth of "Democratic Party" support for working people, The Myth of American Exceptionalism . . .

Declarations of American exceptionalism rest on the belief that the United States is a uniquely virtuous nation, one that loves peace, nurtures liberty, respects human rights, and embraces the rule of law. Americans like to think their country behaves much better than other states do, and certainly better than other great powers.

If only it were true.

It never has been true, but over the last two centuries, prominent Americans have described the United States as an “empire of liberty,” a “shining city on a hill,” the “last best hope of Earth,” the “leader of the free world,” and the “indispensable nation.” These enduring tropes explain why all presidential candidates feel compelled to offer ritualistic paeans to America’s greatness.

But Bernie doesn't feel compelled to do that.

It's called integrity.

Bernie is offering the truth, he's the only presidential candidate with the moral courage to tell the American people the truth, he's telling it because it must be told, he's telling it in the final primary states, he's telling it across California, he's going to tell it at the convention and all the way to Election Day.

He knows American Exceptionalism is an illusion.

He knows too many people in this country who call themselves Christians don't even remotely resemble Christians.

America says she talks to angels, but the angels have turned away in disgust . . .

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket,
She wears a cross around her neck.

Generations of enslaved Africans saw America parading around with that cross, Native American victims of genocide saw America marching across the Great Plains with that cross, the villagers of the conquered Philippines saw the same hypocrisy, the doomed men, women, and children of Hiroshima and Nagasaki saw the same hypocrisy, bombed and napalmed Vietnamese saw it, the tortured prisoners of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo saw it, the human targets of the Predator drones and Reaper drones of this "Christian nation" are seeing it. Hillary waved it in the faces of Honduran immigrant children, then sent them back to be killed.

Let that be a lesson to them for hoping to breathe the sacred air of this uniquely virtuous nation.

She paints her eyes as black as night now, pulls those shades down tight.

Secrecy Is a Cancer On Our Democracy

We are increasingly becoming a society of secret laws, which corrupts not only the democratic legislative process but also the open judiciary that is so crucial in a democratic society. Examples include the secret FISA Court extending its reach into interpretive constitutional rulings, and the Justice Department refusing to reveal how it is interpreting and carrying out numerous laws, including those involving Patriot Act surveillance, the war powers used to order drone strikes against American citizens, and GPS and other location-tracking technology.

Hillary loves secrecy.

She loves secrecy like the Pentagon loves trillion dollar budgets.

They never mention the word addiction. . . .

The United States spends nearly as much on military hardware, fixture and training as all other countries combined. The U.S. is a warfare state. It’s addicted to militarism, its addicted to war spending and it’s addicted to war profits.

Yeah, she gives us a smile when the pain comes . . .

The pain gonna make everything alright.
Oh yeah there’s a smile when the pain comes,
Pain’s gonna make everything alright.

Pain. The rich keep inflicting it and the rest of us keep feeling it.

It's an awesome strategy for economic recovery.

Works every time.

Chronic Unemployment and Poverty . . .

Poverty continues to grip over 46 million Americans, large numbers of adults and out of school youth in the United States are chronically unemployed. Few of them are counted in formal unemployment statistics because they are no longer, or never were, sufficiently connected to the labor force to be counted in those statistics. The U.S. is being split into a collection of islands for the rich and a vast land mass for the poor.

Enough. Is. Enough.

Bernie is campaigning his heart out for us. He's 74-years-old, but he's traveled all across America, under her endless skyway, through her golden valleys, across her diamond deserts, through the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, on ribbons of highway into every state, speaking truth to power every mile of the way.

Why?

This is why . . .
