By the way, consumerism is what makes a middle class voting base possible - otherwise workers would become revolutionaries - which kind of happened while the Democrats were doing other things than look after workers.  The only way to have prevented what happened yesterday was to nominate Bernie.  With last night's win, unless Trump is a total idiot while governing, the GOP will be ascendant and there will be no schism in the Democrats that will create a workers party.  Workers will have to organize by other means - which was always the case.
