IN REGRET FOR YOUR ASPIRATIONS FOR BERNIE AND YOUR SOCIAL IDEALS Though the actions and machinations of the DNC have been structurally inhibiting to Bernie's message, I (in full disclosure) a far Left-Independent would also have to fault Bernie for is conscious omission of the necessary historical PREDICATE to his SUBJECT -Democratic Socialism and his OBJECT 'economic equity & justice'. There is more than just the consequences of the uber-rich paying their fair share of taxes. There is the HISTORICAL record and process of liberation that has been avoided for its academic pedantry and its vulnerability to sound-bite defamation, though it would tell the story of exploitation that has existed in the pre-capitalist and capitalist development. Plus the non-economic, SOCIAL issues of today are part of the same oppression which the economic tools are used to further the repression and exploitation. (At this point I give Bernie kudos for his pointing out to the Trump supporters their misperception of 'The Donald', the low-wage, anti-collective bargaining baron-himself) Bernie KNOWS the polemical-'J'Accuse'-argument that free market Capitalism is the exploiter of the many for the per capita symbolic and shallow advancement of the rest who live in jeopardy of the amoral to cynical indifference of those uber-riche. The historical record is there from serfdom, to colonizing and the eventual slavery of black Africans, to the exploitation, ethnic cleansing, and labor-abuses on which the illusionary wealth of this country was built. It took FDR to reset the calculus (along with the historical correction of WWII and the subsequent wars of national liberation) of the economic structure of this country so that the socialist-communist, the bank robbing Bonnie-Clyde class, the Crime syndicates ala the Mafia, would not produce of nation of scoff-law citizens outlaws

From the time of Taft-Hartley, the regressive forces have been doing their best economically and culturally by legislation to bring the working people in this country to sweat-shop/plantation labor (Big-Box businesses) with bogus and divisive cultural arguments as the camouflage for their actions.

I understand Bernie's desire to use the Democratic machine and its constituency as the base for his message. He neglected, until he was obliged to tie in the social-historical forces that ARE the PREDICATE for THE SUBJECT, democratic socialism plus the OBJECT-ends-economic equity and justice. Because he hasn't done that and stuck to the OBJECT more than the SUBJECT and its PREDICATE (the social-political history), he is seen as no more than an avant-garde version of contemporary Democratic (Hillary Clinton) rhetoric than the unifying cultural threat to the whole domestic and foreign policy order of the conventional Democrats and the GOP/Conservative/Right Wing order.

Because of this Hillary Clinton will corral those who would go no further than the least they need to do, which in this culture of distraction and self-indulgence, is most of the center-left population in this country.

Keep fighting and organizing, as well as PUSHING BERNIE TO GIVE THE FULL PREDICATE FOR democratic SOCIALISM as the rectifier of an inherently abusive economic tool of cultural repression and oppression.
