Aye, even though I have concerns that both are controlled opposition. These two fringes have much in common like being anti-war and anti-corruption.

Yeah same here, but maybe if they united they could accomplish things and maybe start a new anti-war party or something

    Yes, I do not think sanders is like "Let's fool these people".

    I think Sanders is for real, and the system keeps him on a very tight leash, because he serves a useful purpose of giving voters the illusion of choice. But he is not allowed to win the primaries. He sees it's fishy, but can't say anything because he knows they'll completely turn on him if he does.

    So he plays complicit at the end of the primaries, thinking "next time, maybe I'll get so many votes it'll be undeniable and I can win legitimately, and if I cause a stir I might sacrifice that".

    And meanwhile the DNC controllers got their pro-corporate pro-war candidate, and the voters (and Bernie) think they "almost had it", just like every time. And then anyone who says the DNC is corrupt and broken is cut out of the discussion entirely.
