Fair enough. I do realize that the only candidate who had actual popular backing is Sanders (even though Sanders repeatedly stabs his supporters in the back by supporting Hillary, then Biden...). I also agree that Trump is playing the same fundamental game here, in that his management of the country also leads to destruction. I have been None of the Above all along. We're in a weird place, however, when the Trumpians - simply continuing the standard lies of the past 75 years - appear relatively reasonable when compared to the gaslighting going on in the Democratic party.

Your point is valid. Confusing the current Democratic nominee with a genuine ideological movement is false. The Democratic power structure are nothing if not corporate whores...

Confusing the current Democratic nominee with a genuine ideological movement is false.

Some on the righ, probably purposefully done, claim that the neoliberal democrats are marxists or socialists, which just isn't true.
