The fact that families seeking asylum being separated started with Trump isn’t misinformation. However, trust me, we’re gonna get to the fact that these detention centers and ICE’s brutality are not new. 

California in a technical sense there are no parties in primaries in the state. There is one “jungle primary” where all the candidates from all parties compete for plurality and the top two move on to the general. 

This system was conceived a few years ago as an electoral reform to promote political diversity and local party domination, but it’s been a bit of a mess.

Well, it’s time to get the movement going and get progressives elected across this country! 

First things first, we at Berniesrevolution and SandersDemocrats.org are proud to endorse Arturo Carmona for California’s 34th congressional district. 

Arturo was Bernie’s political director during the campaign and would make a fantastic representative of his downtown LA district! He is a lifelong progressive running on a platform of climate justice, single-payer healthcare, anti-gentrification, LGBTQ rights, and much more!

You can read the full list of issues HERE and donate to his campaign HERE.  If you live in this district don’t forget to vote in the special election scheduled for sometime THIS SPRING!

This is how we turn this moment of populist passion and energy into a movement for greater and lasting structural change. Let’s do this!

The establishment does not mean that someone is not a part of a marginalized group, it is a judgment of the type of people the politician is representing.

Are they representing the people or the powerful? 

It was evident, that while Hillary does stand for some things that benefit the people, she primarily is beholden to the established powers in Washington: Lobbyists, Major Corporations and the Wealthy.

Politicians personal characteristics to not keep them from being a part of the Establishment. It does not matter what marginalized group they are in if they are bought and paid for, they are a part of the establishment. 

Almost inevitable within the next three years, to be honest. The financial sector is completely unregulated again and the housing market is showing tell-tale signs of a severe market imbalance. It really is sad and pathetic to think that capitalism is in the midst of its second near-fatal crisis in little over a decade and that all the meager gains made by the fragments of the “middle class” and working poor in “The Recovery” will be swept away. 

The only morbid, morose hope one could have is that it happens in 2019 because if that happened, Bernie could start fireside chats reading Marx’s Capital and still dominate the election so badly that he flips Texas.
