The Bernie Support bashing in this forum is disgusting!

131. Neither Trump nor Sanders are agents of change.

Actual, substantive change can occur only at the very local level, not from the ‘top down.’

Indeed, had Sanders been elected, none of the ‘change’ he advocated for would have come to pass, particularly with Congress controlled by Republicans.

The only things Sanders would have accomplished as president would be to preserve much of Obama’s policies, veto inane, wrongheaded Republican legislation, and make appropriate judicial appointments – exactly as if Clinton had been elected.

During the primary Clinton supporters correctly understood that Sanders’ policies were naïve, unrealistic, and at odds with most of the National electorate – likely losing Democrats the election.

And the same is true for Trump; under Trump the middle class will continue to suffer, wages will continue to stagnate, and jobs will continue to leave the country.

There will be no ‘change’ from Trump – only reactionaryism, returning America to a Nation of fear, ignorance, racism, bigotry, and hate.
