a sea change is happening anyway. when the sea change happens all the vicissitudes will be swept away. signs of the sea change are: bernie. that he exists, that people know he represents them, and the people are the sea change. that talking directly to people is more powerful than all the money and propaganda the richest men in the world can muster. that matthews apologized to bernie for his stupid slurs and promised to do better, to raise the level of discourse, hence decreasing the level of propaganda and journalistic abuse. 
and this on msnbc: “You have someone talking about, in a way we have not heard, genuine deeper democracy, popular movements, human equality in a meaningful way, and a politics of love in the tradition of Dr. King—and winning elections,” Giridharadas said of Sanders. “I think this is a wake-up moment for the American power establishment, from Michael Bloomberg to those of us in the media to the Democratic Party to donors to CEOs.”
so a sea change is happening. it could be the twilight of the dictators and corporate rulers, or they could make war like the planet has never seen.
