Related: About this forumA House propped up by the masses to service the 1% cannot stand.
Sooner or later it will crumble from the shear weight of corruption and oppression.

IMO this is a huge reason why nominating Bernie is so important, Hillary may win, but she will not have enough enthusiasm to affect elections down-ticket. Enthusiasm for Bernie will bring the huge numbers of voters needed to overwhelm Republican gerrymandering.
