Dueling Politics - Clinton/Sanders Books and the Constitution

What all this tells me is that it was a mistake for Sanders to toss that "I" at the end of his name, replace it with a "D", and expect to be treated fairly by those that didn't consider him a "D", but wanted and needed his political following. It was especially deleterious to progressives, who were OK with the alphabet swap, only to have their hopes shattered by their candidate dropping out at the last minute and campaigning for the person who was by all progressives' account, THE reason Sanders was running in the first place. It became clear from the beginning that she wasn't for what Bernie was for. She pretty much had the "take it easy, I'm going to make this all right, please keep sending your dollars" attitude of the status quo. She constantly lamented "the country isn't ready' for this or that yet. The country needed her to be president and they didn't need or want that much change to happen quickly. The country didn't agree and look what happened.

It also tells me that if this chain of 2 party, status quo, plutocracy isn't broken by a strong 3rd or 4th political entity and soon, the United States is doomed to perpetual mediocrity and less than expected "incremental progress" both parties insist is what it takes for change to occur. Some things can no longer be waited for. America has waited too long for change that is not coming. It almost happened in 2016, but corrupt politics and the yearn for money and power overcame the campaign slogans. Couple that with lapse or absent enforcement and oversight, hacking, alleged collusion with foreign governments, add corruption within the political parties, and America is in real trouble. Maybe more so now than ever. The flaw seems to be in the language of the Constitution and is the key to ridding America of corrupt politics and government. The sad part is those benefiting from the corruption have no interest, and are under no obligation to change the Constitution if it negatively affects them. Notwithstanding, they are the only one's authorized by the Constitution to do so. It's perpetual corruption under the guise of constitutionality. OK all you constitutional scholars out there...have at it.
