Is it just me or is it real? We are at war against the oligarchy in all its forms.

For me it all comes down to this. You are either for Bernie Sanders ...or you are with the oligarchy who control almost everything ...from the media, congress, senate, police, global trade deals, MIC contracts, the White House DC bubble and all the other candidates. Everything I have read about Bernie about his past through to what he is saying now is all I could ever ask for in a candidate that really does care about all common people (no corporations are not fucking people and I have serious doubts about republicans, libertarians and crazy fucking tea baggers). I doubt you will ever see Bernie sit on the political fence with his finger in the air in order for him to decide on anything. If we don't get him elected THE BATTLE IS OVER but I am gonna go down fighting!

If we don't have the political revolution Bernie is calling for, the world has maybe 10 more years of oligarchy and exploitation before there are mass uprisings. People everywhere are groaning under the weight of the capitalist overlords.

Since I have absolutely NO desire to participate in or live through a violent revolution and subsequent terror, but I do want a redistribution of wealth, I'm supporting Bernie. He's our best hope.

This is our chance to change things through the system. After that we run out of the luxury of time. Climate change is already too far along for us to even wait this long, but it has to be attempted. If not, it's going to be messy.

"For me it all comes down to this. You are either for Bernie Sanders ...or you are with the oligarchy who control almost everything."

Brilliant.

I'm gonna change my tag line...if I may.
