Dear Political Establishment: We Will Never, Ever Forget About The DNC Leaks

Progressives will keep the DNC scandal on the foreground of public consciousness no matter how much Russian fearmongering the establishment does.
We need to make it very clear to the Democratic establishment that we will all work together to serve as the Hannibal Buress of the DNC scandal. We will never let societal amnesia allow the public to forget how the people who were bound by their Charter to ensure a fair and evenhanded Democratic primary were caught red-handed actively trying to sabotage the campaign of of an anti-establishment candidate in favor or a pro-establishment candidate.

In a recent interview with Amy Goodman, Bernie Sanders said he believes that corporate media refused to cover his historic and groundbreaking campaign because Donald Trump’s vitriolic tweets made for better headlines than talking about about American income and wealth inequality. I don’t say this often, but Bernie is dead wrong. They didn’t refuse to cover him because his campaign didn’t make exciting news; the massive audiences he was packing into stadiums were themselves extremely newsworthy. Don’t tell me crowds of tens of thousands roaring in enthusiastic approval as the status quo is condemned in the largest bloodless revolution America has ever seen isn’t worthy of extensive coverage. No. The media blackout on Sanders (which a Harvard study found did indeed cripple his campaign) was because the corporate media giants didn’t want a U.S. President threatening their cushy tax breaks and deregulations and inextricable entanglement with political power to help the drowning American populace. In a corporatist government, corporations are as much a part of the government as the politicians they install into office, and Bernie Sanders was unmistakably a threat to corporatism.
