@Olivier5,
Quote:There WAS an extraordinary popular movement that was set to defeat Trumpism: Bernie Sanders' candidacy for the dem nomination. You supported it, right?
It was extraordinary but focused too much angry energy towards the wrong target and basically was wrong on some points. I feel and still do feel, Bernie is not presidential material and Hillary was, Bernie was a darn sight better than Trump though and I would have voted had he won unlike some people who let Trump win. We do need the energy though and now it all doesn't matter. The democrats in office are virtually powerless to do anything, not enough dems in office to stop anything concrete other than make protest points. So we need the populism, which didn't include those outside of blue white working Americans in Bernie's populism, to form together to fight Trump.
Well, I got to go for a while (doctor labs...) so carry on. Might respond later unless too much else has already been said.
