As to Sane Progressive's incredible citizen reporting, all I can add is the climate sleaziness of mainstream media coverage, combined with my interpretation of this as a new, deeply sinister Tammany Hall. And if I fully endorse Noam Chomsky's interpretation of this as the substitution of manipulated popular opinion for force, I do wish to emphasize that it is a type of force: to use of virtually endless corporate money to defeat any Democratic progressive who endorses genuine populist Bernie Sanders against corporate tool Hillary Clinton.
What It All Means--for SERIOUS Climate Champions
So, viewed in climate terms, Clinton's democracy-crushing political machine is an updated Tammany Hall, but far worse: updated in Clinton's case by billions of dollars of corporate money, modern mass media (even farther reaching mass media than used by Goebbels) as her tool of propaganda, and the crushing of the lone candidate, Bernie Sanders, dedicated to saving the climate--and, therefore, potentially humanity's very existence. And this powerful machine, "hiding in plain sight," has secured from important Democratic progressives and a major environmental organization endorsements that no rational considerations of policy or--perhaps more importantly--candidate character, can conceivably justify.
Clearly, without open revolt against a Democratic Party dominated by the corrupt Clinton's new Tammany Hall--a political machine that has hijacked FDR's party--that machine will shove the climate-unfriendly Clinton (supported by money from the likes of Exxon-Mobil, "the company Clinton keeps" ) down our throats. At a time when humanity can least afford such an utterly corrupt "fossil fool" wielding the gargantuan power of U.S. president.
