Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders ended his presidential campaign yesterday, thus concluding a ridiculous farce of a Democratic party primary, where only one of eleven debates involved fewer than six candidates, where millions were forced to choose between their right to vote or risk exposure to a deadly viral pandemic, and which has left no doubt about the utter corruption of the corporate media and the utter brokenness of both American journalism and democracy.
