We're Americans! - by Hénock Gugsa


We're Americans! 
- by Hénock Gugsa -
In the wake of the New York primary this past Tuesday, a Facebook friend and fellow Bernie-supporter said in disgust,  "We're Americans for Chrissake! ...."  
Spot on, friend !
This put me in mind of a Johnny Depp movie.  In it, he had a line where he says to a waiter, "You're a Mexicain, aren't ya? ... Not a Mexicaint!"  
Same principle can be applied here ... We're Americain ... not Americaint!!
What happened in New York is not really that surprising when you really think about it.  
That place is the lion's den, home of die-hard establishment democrats, of Wall Street, of the giant, recalcitrant financial institutions, and the power base of corporatist-billionaires.  
To be sure, Hillary cashed in all her chips there because she needed to get a fresh new momentum. 
Whether everything was done clean and above board is a discussion for another day.  We can, however, positively be assured that the fight is not over and there will be surprises up ahead. 
This is, after-all, a revolution!
