I'm sure many of the people who are railing against the establishment own iPhones and drive nice cars fueled with gasoline. It's no less hypocritical than when I heard old, white people who protested against Obama and the Affordable Care Act cry "keep your hands off of my Medicare."

Being against cronyism and legalized corruption is not hypocrisy though. It is patriotic.

It is impossible for any politician to work alone to accomplish his or her goals. I don't like labels and I'm certainly not part of the so-called establishment, but I know promises can be broken and usually they are sometime between Inauguration Day and the next campaign speech. I voted twice for Obama and still think he was the best choice, but more than half of his promises haven't been fulfilled. Every political speech during an election year reminds me of the words ""til death us do part" during a wedding ceremony. The intention is always good, the results not so much.

"On one side we have Bernie Sanders, who’s giving many on the far left exactly what they’ve wanted to hear for years. He’s making a lot of huge promises that play right into the hopes and dreams of far-left liberals. And on the other side we have Hillary Clinton, who’s still very liberal on a lot of these issues, telling voters the truth about the realities of government and what sort of progressive goals are realistically achievable based upon those realities. Even though by doing so she’s alienated some of the liberal base."
