Why Is the « Progressive Left » Helping the Elite Elect Hillary?

Région :

Have you noticed that it is not only the presstitute media and the two establishment political parties that are beating up on Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump but also the progressive left. 

Sometimes the messages overlap so much that the progressive left sounds like the One Percent.  But mainly the progressive left is down on Sanders because he is “not pure,” and they don’t like Trump because he hurts people’s feelings and doesn’t apologize.

This is astounding.  Here we are faced with the corrupt media and the corrupt party establishments determined to put in the Oval Office a tried and proven agent of the One Percent, and the progressive left is beating up on the only two alternatives!

I doubt that Sanders or Trump would be able to achieve much for the American people except to reduce the flow of official lies that the presstitutes turn into truths by constant repetition.

The Oligarchy is too strong.  It was more than a half century ago that President Eisenhower warned us of the threat to American democracy from the military-security complex.  That complex is much stronger today, and, in addition, we have Wall Street and the mega-banks that control the US Treasury and Federal Reserve, the Israel Lobby that has the US Congress wrapped around its little finger, the extractive industries (energy, mining, timber) that prevails over the environment and preservation, and agra-business that poisons our food, exterminates honey bees and butterflies and produces chemical fertilizer runoff into waters that result in massive fish kills from algea blooms.   None of these powerful interests will permit the welfare of the American people to get in the way of their agendas and profits.

Nevertheless, the election of Sanders or Trump is important, because it demonstrates that American citizens are emerging from The Matrix and have no confidence in the two corrupt political parties that betrayed them.  The message would go out to the world as well that the American people have no confidence in the Washington Establishment.  These messages are very important and can only have beneficial effects.

So why is the progressive left helping the One Percent keep the lid on the rest of us?  Has the progressive left sold out or is the progressive left putting its emotional needs above the general welfare?
