Indeed Mort !

 

The big question is, WHEN the ruling class cheats Sanders again from the primary elections, what people will do ?

 

Will they fall in line like sheep to the slaughter or will they begin to realize that some other avenue / vehicle of change needs to happen.

"The consequences [re. Dem candidate in 2020] are hard to predict. If the donor class succeeds in nominating a centrist candidate, progressive activist forces might be disillusioned and reluctant to do the work on the ground that will be needed to prevent the tragedy — repeat, tragedy — of four more years of Trumpism. If a progressive candidate does gain the nomination, centrist power and wealth may back away, again opening the path to tragedy. It will be a fateful year. It will be even more important than usual to remain level-headed and to think through with care the consequences of action, and inaction.”

The tragedy Chomsky has in mind concerns Climate Change and a conceivable nuclear conflagration… under Trump tutelage.
