[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 702728, member: 18958"] There is a wonderful article by Michael Moore the filmmaker and author who had many months ago predicted the election's result for exactly the reasons you have expressed. (That article, too, is fantastic. I believe he called it [U]5 reasons Trump will win.[/U] The former article Michael Moore wrote he must have written immediately after the election's result about which he felt greatly distressed. He was cynical and distraught. But he called it: Working class people (from which I come) threw a bomb. Left behind, disrespected and disregarded--their response was the only rational and even hopeful one, from where they stood. When Moore wrote that article, in that moment, he felt no hope. But soon after he wrote another article that spoke to the necessity for working class people to constructively and hopefully and purposefully once again become central to the society which they have built and fueled, and whose interests and voice have been disregarded. They were rejected like some outmoded and rusty tools. Oh yes they can. Hillary Clinton (for whom I voted) just had a conference call with her donors and pointed to the two letters from the FBI chief, Comey--as responsible, the first having depressed turnout for her, and the second having mobilized the anti-Hillary forces. I do not think she or other mainstream power brokers in the democratic leadership are considering for even one second, how their efforts and actions illustrated their contempt for the populace, democratic process and indeed, the World, how their short-term machinations to put forth and protect their own interests--directly threatened to hurt, or destroy everything important in the world. They do not care. Still. You know, Apple, I kind of agree with you here. It is never ever a bad thing for the true cards to be on the table. While I did not support him, and believed he lied about many, many things--he told essential and important truths about the state of politics in this country. For that I respect him. [/QUOTE]
