This is why he didn't call out Hillary rigging the DNC. He wants another bite at the apple. I imagine it'll play out just like last time, same as it did with Ron Paul. Media boxes him out, DNC boxes him out, he loses even though he's the most popular candidate, then Hillary vs Trump then Trump wins again, and this country spends another 4 years stewing in the mess they've created for us to live in.

Or maybe something good will happen. Who knows. Things can't repeat the same patterns forever

I don't see a calm coming with Bernie, the States have serious issues that have always smoothed over by ignoring. By default, I'm a Trump supporter, but in reality, I do think about what I believe Eisenhower said something along the lines of, 'presidents aren't elected, they're selected'. I know that can be taken many different ways, but fast forward to Kennedy, and what he said.

I don't want calm when the agenda, even with Trump, is carrying forward at a fevered pace.

Yes I see what you mean. I also think presidents have basically been figureheads since JFK. The deep state runs the show, and that's basically the military-industrial-banking complex

How do we fix it? I think most people the world over, just want to live their simple lives; enjoy the natural world, enjoy their families, work hard to provide, and just get along.

I do reference the old age saying of: "Sticks, and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me".

That phrase to me, shows our ancestors got the the idea that life isn't fair, which it isn't, but it can be all that I wrote above, and just let the jerks, and zeros bounce off your back like water off a duck's back.

Yet, with a unforeseen puppeteers throwing continual proverbial wrenches into the worx, well here we are. The best I've come up with is to at least, well do what we're doing here, try to communicate, share, learn, teach, and ultimately striving for I'd hope a better world, perhaps self improvement.
