The illusion of “systemic change” through Bernie was always a mirage. Electing him might have slowed the bleeding, but the machine would’ve swallowed him whole, just like it does to anyone trying to reform it from within. People don’t need to see that change is possible—they need to see that this system isn’t.

Hurting? That’s the point. Pain keeps people compliant, clinging to false hope instead of demanding something real. Bernie wasn’t the answer; he was a pacifier, a way to channel outrage into something manageable. The only way forward is to stop playing by their rules.
