Fascinating to watch in any event.

Sheer amount of weird leaks in corporate news etc.
Norm is for some people to be in the known, receiving the kind of filtered shit that you now get live on MSNBC or whatever.
Still spin, probably, but the sheer amount of spotlight is unnerving.

I seriously doubt there is much central control. Just different agencies and entities keeping things in check by hook and crook.
It feels like the equilibrium has broken now, though. Internal conflict, maybe, beyond the usual jostling?

I think Bernie is gonna win, because things kind of suck for most people, and they are getting the idea that it doesn't have to be that way. I mean getting cancer often means we go bankrupt. People are catching on that thats not the First World norm.

I think even if he doesn't win, his agenda will live on and people will demand it and win with it in local elections.
