The Democratic Party Revolution Will Not Be Televised

Networks Postpone Revolution Coverage Indefinitely

by
Losten Spaese


March 2, 2016, New York
With Bernie Sanders' endorsement of Hillary Clinton's campaign for President taking over the front page and becoming the leading story on all major TV networks, it's apparent that the long-awaited revolution in the Democratic Party will not take place as scheduled. All three major TV networks, including ABC, CBS and NBC announced today that their team coverage of the revolution has been postponed indefinitely.

One dejected Sanders supporter put it this way when asked about Clinton's apparent victory, "I'm devastated by this news. All of the online polls indicated that Americans were really 'feeling the Bern.' I don't know what happened, but I suspect a conspiracy on the part of the evil banksters." Asked about Sander's endorsement of presumptive candidate Clinton, the same supporter raised a fist into the air and cried out, "Next time, we'll be victorious!"

On the GOP side, who the eventual nominee will be remains unclear. Even with several candidates leaving the field, six erstwhile Republican nominees continue to battle over fine points of their regressive proposals. Donald Trump, still holding a slight lead, said, "I'll miss that Bernie Sanders guy. I wanted to run against him. Clinton's harder." Ted Cruz, still in second place, simply squeezed his eyes shut in frustration and said, "We'll get you, Hillary Clinton, and your philandering husband, too."

News from the future is always subject to change, due to that.

Televised a couple of months ago from a stage in Seattle with a revolutionary named Marissa. She one hundred percent changed Sanders campaign, and a big part of Clinton and O'Malley's as well. I believe what she did that day will have a lasting impact on our party. So in that sense Sanders seems to have been a tool for others in building a revolution. We cannot ignore the ongoing protests, rhetoric, and changed political scene since Marissa took to the stage in Seattle.

She showed up that day and turned the status quo on its head.

1) put out an OP for unity,

2) put out an OP against Sanders, satire or not.

By this time,I know that I can ignore your OPs,
because they are repeats of repeats and more repeats.

Enjoy your day.

In any case, why gloat, why bait, why divide? We're just simply rooting and working for a candidate we consider superior. Is that not our right? Is that really so bad?
