There are two political universes: The first is the parties, the pundits, the money, the polls, the debates, and the media. I call it the political /media industrial complex. 1/1

The second is the American people, the voters, those who Thomas Jefferson referred to as “the only safe repository of power.” 1/2

In ‘20 as in’16, the first ate the second one alive. One of the most important activities on earth has been reduced to a carnival show, overseen by unscrupulous people who couldn’t care less. I hope at least some of them are using this time to think about what they’ve done again.

then why are you supporting Biden??
Replying to @marwilliamson
Isn't time for the second develop system to defend against the first and get done whatever they decide is best?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Collectively we have the mass to outweigh the $ & media but only if we can organize into 1 voice. Sad thing is that Bernie's platform does the most collective good but it's clear that millions reject these values for what they perceive they get w/the status quo.

I hope some of us are using this time to figure out alternate ways to circumvent the first one, without violence, since the current rules make it possible only for the existing power structure to win.

That's why you need to give a voice to third-parties and not back @JoeBiden

What about all the african americans who voted for Joe Biden in all the southern states that turned the election around for Joe Biden? Aren’t they “the people”? Why didn’t Bernie connect with them?
Replying to @marwilliamson
They are not. So we have to make them.
Replying to @marwilliamson
They do not care enough to think about what they've done.

Talk about stretching the bounds of hubris - if anyone honestly thinks that 'Biden is the One', then they invested absolutely zero effort to learn anything at all about the last election or the American electorate. GTFO of your studios & chairs and take a walk across America.🤔
