Ah yes, Elizabeth Warren. Like Bernie Sanders, she is part of the
Establishment. Sure, many of their proposals and dreams would be of benefit
to the working class, but they still would not solve the economic and social
issues caused by Corporate Capitalism.
I still say that the $250 million would have found its way back to the
Establishment no matter how it was spent. And in fact, it might have been
more effective if it had been used to buy a commercial blitz, hammering home
some simple message, along with cute and catchy little jingles.

of Sanders' campaign. He has been doing fundraising for them
specifically, along with the fundraising for himself. One of them has
just won a primary in New York State for congress. Her name is Zephyr
Teachout. She ran against Cuomo for the Democratic nomination for
governor. Incidentally, she also has a book on BARD. She's a history
professor. Sanders is now fundraising so that all of his 1,900
delegates will be able to attend the convention because some of them
can't afford to travel there. David Swanson's point in the article
was that the money used for the campaign would have been used more
effecdtively to educate people directly. He posed that question
because many of us said that the purpose of Sanders' campaign is to
educate large numbers of people about the issues. So the question
remains: Would using the money for educating people as War Without End
is doing, in conferences and meetings and demonstrations, be as
effective as Sanders has been with his very large rallies and the
media coverage that he did eventually get? The money that Sanders
raised isn't going to Hillary. It's going to Progressive candidadtes
and to his attempts to have an influence on the Democratic Convention.
Bernie hasn't endorsed Hillary. He has said, in response to a question
from a TV anchor, that he would vote for her in order to stop Trump.
So, by the way, did Noam Chomsky. Certainly, we can disagree with that
choice. However, I think it is inaccurate to equate it with support
for her. The progressive icon who is actively supporting her is
Elizabeth Warren.

Actually I got his point. But as usual, something peeked my interest
and I took off on another thread.
The money and energy spent in mounting a campaign in the face of a
rigged election is accomplishing exactly what the system is rigged to
do, waste lots of money and energy. Well, the money isn't wasted.
The money, which could have been put to productive use on behalf of
the working class, was put to good use by the Ruling Class. And in
the deal it was kept out of the hands of the Ruling Classes enemy, the
I'll bet that when all is said and done and the dust has settled,Empire.
Donald Trump will have gained financially from his exploitation of our
political process. Well, maybe it's not really "Our" political
system, but it's a system nonetheless. And Donald has found a way of
getting more press and more exposure than he ever could have paid for.
Forget the fact that by the end of the Presidential Election millions
of people will still be hungry, out of work, out of medical options,
and living...if that is what we call living...in their old Chevy or
under the nearest bridge. Back in the 60's and 70's we called Trump's
kind, "I'm for me firsters". Today we call them "Libertarians".
But the fact still remains that the money spent on promoting Sanders
and his platform was money that went back into the Establishment's
machine. No new political movement was set in motion. No national
search for future candidates was launched. No new Free Press has
sprung up. Sure, there's lots of stirring among the masses, but no
new structure to guide us toward a new unified set of goals. We will
still be led to believe that the only way we can make a "difference"
is through the existing system. We will continue to be expected to
play by the rules established by our Foes. Our efforts to make new
rules will still be called, Anti American, and we will continue to be
jailed or persecuted.
By this time next year we will see mostly the same faces in congress,
doing nothing for the working class, but lots of good stuff for the
States will have the same people running interference for the Rich.for the rich.
Women will still be persecuted for attempting to demand equal
treatment under the Law, children will still be exploited as a resource
Children!system.
Our most precious of all we possess. Our future. And we can't even
stop the Empire's people from demanding tribute for the simplest of
all requests, that of an education. Children who are told that they
must want to be productive workers in the ranks of the Empire's
production force, yet forced to pay for the very training they need to
take their place. Talk about Slavery!
And Bernie is going to support Hillary? Well, Bernie has dropped
greatly in my esteem. He has sold out, whether knowingly or stupidly,
to the very Establishment he claimed to want to mount a "revolution"
against. Another Wolf in Sheep's clothing. Another Pied Piper for
the Empire, tootling a tune of hope and promise, leading us to the
edge of the cliff.
Our only hope lies outside this ever expanding Empire, not within it.

Party's Over, Quarter Billion Dollars on Bernie, Now What?
Written by davidswanson Tag: Elections [1] Well meaning people just
spent a quarter billion dollars on the Bernie Sanders campaign which
continues operations while its candidate says he will vote for
Hillary Clinton for president.
Let's put that in a little perspective. Iraqis fleeing Fallujah yet
again, as wars that Hillary Clinton pushed for [2] roll on, are in
need, according to the United Nations [3], of $17.5 million for
survival.
I work for an organization opposing war, called World Beyond War
[4], which runs on less than $50,000 a year. Many good organizations
pursuing just what this world needs run on less than that, but you
could fund 5,000 organizations at the level of World Beyond War's
current funding for what's been spent on Bernie.
Has Sanders for President been a wise investment or not?
Certainly Bernie's campaign inspired people. But I see no reason not
to expect most of them to become despondent and despairing now that
it's
If past experience with failed and successful campaigns alike is anyshe used to oppose?
guide, that's where we're headed.
Certainly Bernie's campaign educated people. But it's reasonable to
assume that establishing or expanding major new media outlets to the
tune of $250,000,000 would have educated people too, and that they
might have gone on providing the same funding next year and the year
after, if their interest were in education rather than election.
(First Look Media, publisher of The Intercept, was created with just
that amount, but not to all be spent in one year.) Certainly Bernie
should go on trying to somehow make the Democrats'
Platform
(which, if the past is any guide, they will ignore anyway) slightly
less rightwing and disastrous.
It's unclear that investing in Bernie was a reasonable gamble toward
winning something more. The rigged nature of the election was clear
from the start [5]. Bernie's commitment to promote Hillary Clinton
in the end was clear from the start. And her commitment to
warmongering, environment destroying, oligarchy enhancing policies
was clear from the start.
What else could have been done or could be done now or could be done
next time? No, of course you should not vote for the fascist golfer
clown. Yes, of course you should vote for Jill Stein. But the system
is as rigged against her as it was against Sanders.
Let me ask the question a different way. Why is it that corporations
will now take a public stand for LGBTQ rights? Why will even a
conscience-free corporate hack like Hillary Clinton defend LGBTQ
rights
The primary answer is that activists changed the culture. The role
of voting in their work was minimal. As Emma Goldman said, if voting
ever changed anything they'd ban it. As Howard Zinn said, it matters
less who's sitting in the White House than who's doing the sit ins.
Why so down on elections? I'm in favor of them! I think we should
have one some day! That will require some of these changes that
cannot be voted in under the broken system that lacks them: public
funding of elections, no bribery, free air time for candidates,
automatic voter registration, open debates and ballots, no
gerrymandering, hand-counted paper ballots, international monitors,
no electoral college, no delegates, no superdelegates, and a
three-month election season with a bit of actual governing before

following:
take military spending back to 2001 levels, tax corporations and
billionaires at 1960 levels, restore the minimum wage to its 1968
level, and guarantee everyone top-quality free education preschool
through college, healthcare, job training as needed, vacation,
family leave, retirement, transportation, childcare, clean energy,
public parks, sustainable agriculture, and significant aid to the
rest of the world. Yes, that's Bernie's platform, or could have been
if he'd been willing to mention cutting military spending or
investing in foreign aid. It's also Scandinavia's reality. But a
party platform is not the most important place for these commitments.
The place for our passion and even our "unity" is not in a political
party that destroys everything we hold dear and calls our continued
subservience "unity." We have 60% of the U.S. public that simply
cannot stand Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. That may increase as
we're forced to endure more and more of the pair of them. If all of
those people, or even half of them, backed Jill Stein she might win.
But that requires imagining a fair system of elections and of
And what if she were elected president? Or what if Bernie Sanders
were elected president? We'd still be up against a corrupt
communications system, an ill-informed public, a reactionary
Congress, a medieval Supreme Court, and the absence of a major
independent movement for change. It's good to see Congress Members
staging a sit-in to demand that other Congress Members back some
ridiculously weak if not counterproductive gun control measures, but
what we need is a massive movement of independent people sitting in
and surrounding the Capitol until both parties act on the basic
lessons
solutions.ban the guns and stop bombing people.
Does that sound dreamy and utopian? The point is not to expect it to
succeed entirely and immediately. The point is that the most
strategic way to achieve a partial, compromised solution is to build
momentum for a real fix.
When your best Congress Members are openly bragging that their
opening negotiating demand is for the very least that could possibly
be done, the predictable result is less than that. When people fall
in behind those so-called public servants, failure is guaranteed.
So what should we do? Even if you believe in dumping most of your
energy and money into a broken election system, please consider
saving a little for independent activism. We should organize,
educate, march, rally, protest, sit-in, disrupt, create
alternatives, create media, and find local, state, regional, and
