#RealProgressives Editorial

Our nation has experienced an unprecedented political revolt against the establishment. The rise of Drumpf and Sanders demonstrates this. But it also signifies something else ... A major distraction.

While the Republican party put forth a cast of clowns for its nomination, it's stars stayed out of the limelight and allowed the junior varsity to embarrass themselves and created a swell of insanity that will allow them to hand select their candidate of choice at their convention without tattering that individual with a sullen primary battle. Now, whomever they select at their convention will look "noble"... Unsullied.

There is another factor that is even more insidious... The Democratic establishment and dull minded Democratic voters who, in a state of worthless panic, have taken the focus off an abysmal Hillary Clinton and focused on Drumpf ... Who will never even be the candidate. Even well meaning " Berners" have posted relentlessly about a prop candidate that has been a joke and a minstrel for bigoted America.

So the Real insurgent candidate, Bernie Sanders is smeared with "unelectable" and the worthless fear of Drumpf drove cowardly people to vote for the inevitable one... The very real issues Sanders raises are marginalized. The very real support he has is ignored and mocked. His traditional New Deal policies are mocked. Google stack ranks hit pieces by 538 and the New York Daily News at the top. Bing has Clinton bias as well. Everywhere you turn, the media is over covering Drumpf and Clinton and Sanders is relegated irrelevant by the MSM and many Bernie supporters have blood on their hands posting Drumpf articles. Shame on you all.

Of course the Clinton camp has tried to leverage this to distract and slow play educating the public about who Sanders is and what he stands for by pretending the Real danger is Drumpf who will NEVER be the nominee. They have played on fears using gaslighting to ensure Berners lose hope and it has been successful frequently as many middling supporters still post Drumpf nonsense.

We are in a primary. Only Sanders, Clinton, Get Out The Vote, Phonebanking, Canvassing, Donating, writing Bernie articles that boost his stature and sharing Bernie articles and memes on social media matter in any way right now. That is it. Full stop. Work for Bernie. Focus on Bernie. Stop diluting the messaging with nonsense about Drumpf. It only serves to make Hillary look "better than the Republicans" and help fence riders buy the idiocy of "Any Blue Will Do" because honestly, Hillary is the greatest danger to progress we could ever have.

Why is this? She triangulates AGAINST the left and marginalized everything from Black Lives Matter, Ending the Drug War, stopping fracking and getting the money out of politics ... She represents EVERYTHING we fight against ... Including elitist "feminism" that excludes intersectional feminism. Everything about Hillary is about Hillary. War? Regime Change? Coups? Free Trade Deals? Decrying 'Big Government'??? Seems as though we are fighting a Republican. Death Penalty? We can do this all day long and that is frightening ... Her fight against fight for 15 is well documented... Now her sycophants and surrogates are trying to prop her up as a champion... What an abomination.

When the general election comes... The GOP will have a shiny new candidate that has not been torn down during the primaries. The question is... Will Democrats nominate the lone progressive, #BernieSanders, who can defeat the GOP, or will they force feed the coronation of the very flawed neocon, NeoLiberal warhawk and bigot, Hillary, who rallies Republicans more than their own candidates...?

Don't be a Dunce. Stop sharing Drumpf nonsense you are killing your country.
