Democratic Primaries

My husband is a Bernie supporter. (I'm not, I just like donating to his charities.)

It's very hard for me to listen to what he says because there's so much anger. But I try. And what I hear is: the 1% need to pay their fair share of taxes, and the corporations need to have their power taken away from them. Candidates who are not willing to take power away from the corporations are "Establishment" candidates.

Bernie supporters believe (and its partly true) that the majority of Senators and Representatives are "owned" by corporations and lobbies, and given the uncomfortable option of choosing between their "owners", and the American people, the "owners" will win. We have all seen it happen. Bernie supporters believe (and its partly true) that the majority of Senators and Representatives will never go after dismantling the Military Industrial Complex or the Prison Industrial Complex, or the Health Insurance and Pharmaceutical industries because they are too big, too lucrative, and too interwoven into our society.

Me personally, I say: easier said than done. But I think Warren would have tried.

I have not seen anything that suggests that Biden is going to take on America's corporations and the 1% and force them to give a bigger share of the pie to America's citizens, or better still, put an end to their greed in some way.

This is, apparently, what 30% of Democratic VOTERS (count those delegates. Those are voters, not just supporters) want.

I have others in my family who prefer Bernie but will suck it up and vote for Biden. They are disappointed that there will be no revolution. They really hoped for one.

I really feel as though 30% of the Democratic Party is not being heard. And it saddens me.
