“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Sanders said.

“First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”

“Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?” Sanders asked.

“Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? Probably not.”

    If germany is an ally today the US then its never too late to keep fighting.

    But you are absolutely entitled to feel like its pointless. Its not true, one might even say there has never been a fair election since the creation of the electoral college.

    To say there will never be another fair election is hyperbolic.

    I’ve probably got another 35 years, 67 more if im really lucky, you will have to give me more than 6 to 12 months.

    I genuinely hope this doesnt cause a new civil war or worldwar. But im not willing to bet it isnt a precipice that has just been driven past, im waiting for a fall

      You do know what had to happen to Germany for it to become what it is after WW2, right?

      It was basically destroyed, and the allies rebuilt it. That shit ain’t happening again.
