Bernie is an Independent Senator who ran as a Democrat. He caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate therefore he must support the Democratic nominee or he will be powerless in the Senate. The Revolution is over, we lost and the Oligarchy won again. Hillary is in the pocket of the one percent as is all of the Republican and most all of the Democratic party period. In my 70 years I have always gone along to get along and accepted the lesser of two evils and look where it has gotten us? I refuse to do it again, I won't vote for Hillary or any other Democrat who supported her over Bernie and certainly won't vote for a any Republican. Hillary or Trump will appoint judges who are sympathetic and support Wall Street, the banks and corporations over the people. The Party platforms are meaningless and not worth the paper they are written on they are simply rhetoric to appease the party base. The super delegates have stolen the primary process from the elected delegates in the Democratic party. The only way a peaceful revolution will happen is to vote these people out of office in both partys. I was sorry to hear Thom announce today that he will no longer allow anyone who disagrees with his endorsement of Hillary to talk on his program, which shuts down any further serious conversation on alternatives to preserving the Oligarchy.

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
The Constitution begins with the assumption that we're all in this endeavor together. If some cannot accept this principle they fail to support the Constitution and are a threat to the nation's survival as a democratic republic. Our move away from support or even the recognition of the common good is a symptom of how far we have fallen from the aspirations of the founders expressed in the phrase "We the People." Society needs to decide whether the concept of the common good or zero-sum will guide our governance.
