Bernie Sanders for Democratic Nominee and 2020 President


            The Bernie Sanders’ 2020 Campaign is the best opportunity to not only defeat Trump but to also construct a stable foundation for long overdue structural changes and progress in the social fabric of the United States’ political economy that has since the neoliberal assault, conspicuously aggressive under Reagan, strangled improvements in the lives of the middle and working classes, the precariat, that has yet to realize the minimum wage increasing in relation to inflation and productivity growth since 1968.

            It has been recognized by a bipartisan group of political operatives and observers that Bernie Sanders would’ve defeated Trump decisively in 2016 had the Democratic National Committee (DNC) not rigged the primaries in Hilary Clinton’s favor.  That the DNC has already adjusted the primary rules to allow the former Republican billionaire mayor Bloomberg to begin joining the Democratic primary debates is significant evidence that the DNC is yet still partisan to the corporate, alleged centrist elements of the Democratic party and remains hostile to legitimate progressive candidates and policies such as Bernie Sanders and his positions.  

            Without the sort of egregious election interference witnessed in 2016, Bernie Sanders is well positioned to be elected the Democratic Presidential nominee and then the President of the United States in the general election.  Everyone must do everything within their power to ensure that the next President is Bernie Sanders.  There is no predicting when we will ever have such a good chance to depart from the single business party politics and elections of the ultra-right-wing Republicans and Republican-lite Democrats that have waged a bipartisan assault on the middle and working classes and ushered into existence one of the most disparate wealth inequalities since the robber barons and the roaring 20s preceding the Great Depression.  Any vote for one of the remaining centrist, right-wing candidates, such as the right-wing Biden, is an implicit vote for Trump.  Let’s see to a President Sanders and a blunting of the extreme class war being fought by the single business party with its two slightly different factions.
