Bloomberg And Bernie Are Signs

A take today on what the whole Sanders vs Bloomberg thing might mean. If you weren't following along, Bernie is taking the lead in the polls all over the place. Warren is tanking and her voters are most likely going to go to Bernie when she finally drops out. Those few democrats who are still sane can see a McGovern-sized blowout coming in November and are panicking. Biden would be fine, but billionaire Bloomberg would be better so they changed the rules to allow Bloomberg on the debate stage.

In short, the DNC is rigging the system against Bernie again. What gives?

The whole idea was to gather more and more power at the Federal level and put it in the hands of the Elites. You know, the ones from the Ivy League schools where diversity of thought is forbidden. With everyone thinking the same and the nation's power structure in their hands, they would bring forth an enlightened republic where we would do away with badness everywhere. It was all so simple!

To get here, they captured the education industry and changed the textbooks and curriculum to indoctrinate our kids into their power / money paradigm for understanding the world with intersectionality superimposed. Everything you see is about race and gender struggling to obtain money and power. If you see injustice, it's because money and power are in the hands of the wrong races and genders.

Unfortunately, their low-level minions in the classrooms did their jobs too well. Kids being kids, they took the lessons and amped them up internally. That led to a mass of young socialists who think the system is rigged by the rich and powerful. They're demanding a revolution and Sanders is going to give it to them.

Whoops! Looks like we overshot the mark. They were supposed to stop at "hand money and power to the Elites" not keep going all the way to "guillotine the Elites." Plus, the Elites realize that elections are won by voters and, as Don Lemon cheerfully noted recently, lots of voters are stupid rednecks. They might be persuaded to vote for blue collar Joe or successful Mike Bloomberg, but Bernie is going to drive them into the hands of Trump and the racist Republicans.

And so, they're screwing Bernie. Looking through the comment threads on the articles and recalling what the ANTIFA crowd, heretofore uncriticized, is prone to do, I'm not sure this is going to end well.

The revolution sounded like a good idea at the time. Who knew it would lead to this?

The thing that strikes me as most peculiar is that the five candidates that the oddsmakers give the highest probability of being elected are all over seventy years old, and three are pushing 80.

According to actuarial tables, this means a better than 50% chance that whoever gets elected will die shortly after taking office. And so the VP will matter as much or more than the president, yet at this point we don't even know who is in the running for that position.

The most amazing thing to me is that Bernie (and Liz) are telling everyone that the system is rigged for the rich. And then the DNC goes out and rigs the system for a billionaire! Like could you do anything more to help Bernie solidify his base?
