Dem establishment disdains the Sanders revolution for the same reason that the Sanders revolution disdains the Dem establishment: “If you win, I lose power.” Nothing ever really changes. The story of America is a constant reenactment of the struggle between elites and the people

Then why exactly is he running as a Democrat?! This negates your argument! He is willing to use said system when it's to his benefit, yet insists the system is the origins of our failure as a Democratic Republic?! Hypocrisy much?!

Dem & Repub parties form an unholy alliance making it very difficult for Independents to make a serious run either for Congress or WH. That’s why George Washington warned us against political parties in his farewell address. Their near-monopoly of the political process is wrong.

People need to vote for their candidates, this whole garbage of “vote blue/red not matter who” is where problems is. That’s why we can write-in candidates if everybody did that oligarchy of @DNC and @GOP would end.

So they why exactly is he running as a Democrat? If Sanders really has the support he says he does, why can’t he be the one to change the system he laments? Sure it’s hard, but what isn’t?

I don't disagree... however, if @BernieSanders is such a prolific figure, with such support across the board why is he running as a part of the DNC? There is a monopoly because the American people are arrogant in their own ignorance and have been absent from their own Democracy.
