It is not a rant at Hillary. It is a rant against the principle of throated ideas such as "inevitability" "popularity" all or that sponsered by progressives in disguise aka DNC/Third Way.
The more you say and spread on unique choice is only viable, the more it sticks in peoole' s mind.
Mrs Clinton's unconditional inevitability has been repeated over and over since 2014 mid-terms went over. At least. If not before.
That is called left-of-corporate PROPAGANDA.

(6,342 posts)Practically all of the Super delegates went to Hillary before one of us average folks got to even cast a vote. The debate schedule and everything the DNC has done was to make the road easy for Hillary. How much you want to bet Debbie has a nice job waiting for her if Hillary wins the election?
There was this aura of inevitability for years leading up to this which caused many to not even try to run. It's like this nomination was promised to her years ago.

I hope the call to unite comes in soon by Bernie himself.
