The Fight Continues
Over the course of the last few weeks many people involved in the #NotMeUs movement noticed the shift in the plans of the political establishment. As Bernie Sanders swept the first three states, backroom meetings were going on behind the scenes and the main topic of discussion was on how to stop or slow down the surging Sanders.
Despite former Vice President Joe Biden getting absolutely crushed in Nevada, it was surprisingly considered some type of win for him and as his campaign delivered the “Joe Is Back” mainstream media was there to help push. It was to be expected after seeing the reaction of the pundit class and they knew they were in real trouble. Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews showed the establishment cards after Bernie’s landslide victory in Nevada and now we are seeing that play out. The Democratic establishment would rather have Trump for four more years than to allow progressives a crack at fixing what is wrong in this country.
“I’m wondering if Democratic moderates want Bernie Sanders to be President? Maybe that’s too exciting a question to raise. Do they want Bernie to take over the Democratic Party in perpetuity. Maybe they’d rather wait 4 years and put in a Democrat that they like”

Last night I wrote out some thoughts on Twitter, highlighting some of the events of the last few weeks. Check it out below and see if you don’t agree.
So let me see if I have this straight. @BernieSanders runs away with the Nevada Caucus with Joe Biden finishing a very distant second. As we saw in front of our eyes, the media went nuts. But somehow at that very moment the “Joe Is Back” narrative was also created. 1/8

That led to millions of dollars in free airtime on nearly every major network in the country. Oddly, Biden starts rising in the polls and while his SC debate performance was nothing to write home about, the bar was set so low that all he needed to do was stay awake for it. 2/8

And sure enough the media painted it as “The Real Joe is Back” or something like that. He then lands a pretty major endorsement in South Carolina and the media again went crazy, even though the endorsement was a surprise to almost no one. 3/8

Still, that allowed the networks to continue the free media blitz. Even as a major story surfaced that would have sacked him in one of his previous runs. Yet, what we got was media silence and Biden stumbled into South Carolina, the beneficiary of a manufactured surge. 4/8

And of course won SC. Next, the Democratic Party brass who convinced Buttigieg and Klobuchar that the only way to stop Bernie would be for them to coalesce around Biden, while other high profile party elites jumped on board to keep the manufactured buzz going. 5/8

That leads us into tonight. I would be lying to you if I said I wasn’t extremely disappointed for a while, although I’m not anymore. There is another factor that played into tonight, and even though you probably know what it is, I’m going to leave it alone for now. 6/8

So anyways, we went up against the entire political machine today & although we may have a few nicks, cuts and bruises, we should still be close to leading in delegates. When we started this thing, Biden was a zillion points ahead and we overcame that to be in this position. 7/8

Lastly, make no mistake about it, the Democratic establishment was always going to be extremely tough to take down because we are a huge threat to them but it can be done as long as we don’t give up. #NotMeUs 8/8

It’s pretty clear once you piece things together that the events of Super Tuesday were not a random occurrence. The Biden surge was orchestrated by the top party brass including former President Obama and executed by the corporate media. While we’ll dig a bit more into this soon, with five states voting on March 10, all energy needs to be focused on those states at the present time. We have a great chance to do well on that day and counter the manufactured surge of Biden if we stay engaged.
