I proudly stand with Robert Reich in his endorsement of Bernie Sanders

http://robertreich.org/post/138036377515

This election is about changing the parameters of what’s feasible and ending the choke hold of big money on our political system.

I’ve known Hillary Clinton since she was 19 years old, and have nothing but respect for her. In my view, she’s the most qualified candidate for president of the political system we now have.

But Bernie Sanders is the most qualified candidate to create the political system we should have, because he’s leading a political movement for change.

The upcoming election isn’t about detailed policy proposals. It’s about power – whether those who have it will keep it, or whether average Americans will get some as well.

Doesn't get more "establishment" than that.

LOL!

Oh, that's right, you don't REALLY care about someone being establishment if they support Sanders.

Or is it just using the word establishment as a buzzword to trigger emotional reactions.

I'm surprised Reich survived very long in that administration,
since he's obviously a far-left-commie unicorn lover
without an adequate subservience to Hillary

President Clinton (the first) basically fired him. Sad.
