mmonk's JournalI don't want to live under a Wall Street government anymore.
That is why the Goldman Sachs issue matters to me. It is why I support Sanders for President and Warren for Senate. eom
Massive wealth inequality, Too Big to Fail, Henry Kissinger praise.
This is not the Democratic Party that inspired me in my youth with the likes of Bobby Kennedy.
When was the last time any of you marched for civil rights,
lgbt rights, workers rights, environmental rights, and voting rights? For me it was last year and every year since 2010. I support Bernie Sanders and am also a disability rights activist. Your lines of attack are offensive to us that take the time to do these things. I wish I could explain the advantages of fusion politics and how we should advance together while still have proper debates on issues that divide America and that we should stand together in general terms. But I see that is out the window in some regards. What a pity at this time in history of our republic. The choice, however, still remains yours.
Both political parties seem to have a southern strategy
to divide the electorate along racial lines. Probably because they answer to the same interests. A people's campaign like Bernie's tries to bring people together.
Do you hear the people sing?
Many of our leaders today seem to be saying that you can have economic justice or social
and racial justice. You must choose. But without both walking hand in hand, justice and victory will remain out of reach.I hope I don't offend too many here but it comes
from a realization drummed into my consciousness by this primary of a real progressive finally having support after around 40 years in the desert and is facing a hostile two party system and the probability of America returning to a great middle class that made it such a great economic power post depression through the seventies is slim. That saddens me greatly. You see, the great middle class did not come into being without progressive taxation, regulation, and fair trade as opposed to free trade as defined by today (repatriation of corporate jobs and money). As Waylon Jennings said before his death, he saw a great country before it started its decline. I just wanted to say that and give a hat tip to those fighting against the odds to try and bring it back. Have a nice evening and may the odds be forever in your favor.
I'm in a bit of a somber mood today. The reason I support
Bernie Sanders for president is that people in America struggling in their everyday lives shouldn't have to fight so hard just to be heard. Really, that's all I have to say. I hope you all have a great day.
It's too bad the tone of our primary has taken
such a sour tone as it is an interesting primary. I'm also finding the irony of a billionaire Bloomberg run should Bernie win the primary the ultimate in tone deafness.
A message to the Clinton campaign surrogates on red baiting.
