the container being a neoliberal stranglehold of policies like NAFTA, MFN-China, H-1b visa etc that have a massive impact on citizen's lives, yet have complete blackout in mainstream media and political debate

Sanders is just a vent of people in the container that have wanted out for a long time, not toward something radical, but just a 'pre-container' time

And I suspect the powers that be were preparing for "something" when they built domestic internment camps and had the military (during Bush admin.) develop sophisticated crowd control weaponry/techniques. Some of us were asking "why?" as this stuff was happening and it leaked out. Also, the oligarchs have multiple houses, many of them overseas, and I've heard they're all equipped with "safe" rooms, shelters.

So....I hope we can have a peaceful revolution, and the oligarchs will abandon their fantasies of world domination. It's not a good idea to try to keep people down.
