Who the hell are Hillary's supporters?
Seriously. Oh, I'm sure she has them somewhere, but who are the vocal, die-hard, TROOPS? I've never met one. I've never seen anything pro-Hillary posted on Facebook, blogs, or anywhere really.
Nope. All I know are people who dig Sanders. And it's not just "digging" him. He is Obiwan Kenobi.
Everyone I know either supports Sanders or are vehemently opposed to him, but even those people aren't Hillary supporters. I suspect I know some closet Trump supporters, just as I'm sure I know closet Hillary supporters. But vocal and active Hillary supporters? None. Most people I know, or friends-of-friends, are either Bernie supporters or Libertarians who hate everyone.
They are the almost-perfect-textbook-definition bourgeoisie. You're lucky to not know them.
But I do know lots of
almost-perfect-textbook-definition bourgeoisie and none of them are Hilary supporters. Moreover, I deal with the public every day and have yet to hear of one Hilary supporter. At most, I've heard she's the lesser of two evils if it comes down to Trump and Hilary.
I think Trump is Hilary's
trump card. He's in it to ensure a Hilary victory. In my humble opinion, Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2000 conditioned the public to accept Trump's run today. If Trump's outrageous behavior escalates when it's down to just Hilary and Trump, it will confirm my belief.
Having said that, I don't think this political circus is necessary to ensure a Hilary victory. It's obvious that the presidential polls and voting machines are rigged. However, in order to present the illusion of choice, the corporate media must create some sort of stage show with all the drama, quirkiness, colorful characters and high stakes of reality TV--
now that Americans have confused reality with a reality television show--so people can argue vehemently over these two candidates as they would argue over their picks for American Idol, The Bachelor, etc...
