The "Democrats" are making it very clear. They are not going to change, they are not going to listen to us, they're going to continue to obey their corporate masters. They want us back on their triangulation chain gang, the chain gang of the poor, the chain gang of working families, the chain gang of inequality, the chain gang of the ignored and the exiled and the betrayed.

Many of us have been on that chain gang, for ten years, for twenty years, for thirty years, for forty years. And we have the scars to prove it. Too damn many scars for too damn many years. So guess what, "Democrats". We're not going back on your triangulation chain gang, it is not going to happen. To hell with you and to hell with your chains and to hell with your chain gang.

The powers that be,
That force us to live like we do . . .

It will just keep getting worse if Americans don't open their eyes to what's happening and toss the corrupt two-party system onto the ash heap of history where it belongs.

I found a picture of you, Bernie . . .

Those were the happiest days of my life.

The truth was being told. Wall Street was being defied. The war machine was being exposed. We the People were finally being heard.

Then Bernie "lost" the primary. We all know what happened. Hillbots high and low, Hillbots at every level of the Hillbot Machine threw sand in the eyes of voters and descended like flies. Wassermann Schultz and the DNC descended like flies, corrupt Democratic incumbents like Barbara Boxer and Claire McCaskill descended like flies, corporate media hacks for Hillary descended like flies, I'm talking to you Donna Brazile, I'm talking to you Rachel Maddow, I'm talking to you Chris Matthews, I'm talking to every one of you worthless MSNBC hacks too busy collecting your Comcast paychecks to do any actual journalism.

That pig circus of an election is finally over. I wanted no part of it, most of us here wanted no part of it, we've seen all the smoke before and we've seen all the mirrors before. The Powers That Be think they won, they think because they took Bernie down that they took down the progressive movement, they think we're defeated, they think we're done and gone.

Well guess what, Powers That Be?

We're not done and gone.

We're back in this fight, we're back in it and we are going to win it because we've seen what the Powers That Be have done to you, Bernie . . .

Because we've seen what they've done to you, Chelsea Manning . . .

Because we've seen what they've done to you, Julian Assange . . .

Because we've see what they've done to you, Edward Snowden . . .

Because we've seen what they've done to you, homeless veterans of the One-Percent's wars . . .

Yeah. We've seen what the Powers That Be have done to the economy, to democracy, to the environment, to working people in every country in this world. We've seen it before and we're going to see it again for four more years, because the Coronation of Hillary became the worst fucking fiasco in American political history, just like we said it would.

I don't know what Trump and his fascist administration will do, I don't know what the "Democrats" will do, I don't know what the criminal corporations and the polluters and the racists and the warmongers and the bankers will do. But I know this much . . .

I'll die as I stand here today,
Knowing that deep in my heart,
They'll fall to ruin one day.

Bernie didn't run third-party, he didn't take it all the way. But neither did we. The political revolution of 2016 was not about him, it was about us. We didn't get it done, but another chance is coming, this political revolution has just begun, another confrontation with the corrupt political establishment is coming, another confrontation with the rotting two-party system is coming, and next time we'll get it right . . .
