That sort of turns her argument upside down. Uggh. I just don't understand why the Sanders campaign uses her.

I disagree with Jason Johnson on occasion as well, but geebus.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

1. A ruler in an oligarchy.
2. a very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence.


According to dictionary #2, Mayor Bloomberg would indeed be an oligarch.

What is incorrect about that???
