The Oligarchs WILL NOT LET BERNIE WIN

They will stop him at any cost.

Regardless how many people need carry their water.
Regardless how many lies must be told by their surrogates.
Regardless how many smears it takes.
Regardless how many pundits distort his platform.
Regardless how many rally's and marches never get televised.

There is no way our owners will let government get out of their control, and actually let the people, and what the people want make any difference. Ain't gonna happen. Period.

The government belongs to the people who hold the checkbooks, and it has been this way for decades.

No skinny old dude with frizzy hair, and a populist message is gonna change their death grip on our lives, and our world's future.

There is coal that needs mined, oil and gas that needs drilled, and wars that need to be started.

There is returns that need to be collected at any cost.

Change ain't gonna happen.

Sorry to tell it like it is.

Real sorry.

Rec if you think this sucks, or if you think we can take on 75 trillion in wealth with a few million passionate folks that are fed up with our government by, for, and of the wealthy.

Today SC Will Vote For More Of The Same - Happy SC?

If POC think Hillary will work her ass off to "change things for the better for their families" after taking all them millions from Wall Street, they have another thing coming. Same for the rest.

In stead of a war on crime, BC should have had a war on outsourcing. Like that would ever happen.

The establishment candidate they will vote for today will keep the 1% rule system in place.

Sorry, again.

Maybe next time right.

Goldman Sachs Wins Again, and Again, and Again.

Same old song and dance.

Goldman Sachs Killed Millions - I Am Sure Hillary Knew

When she took their money.

"Johann Hari: How Goldman gambled on starvation"

"Speculators set up a casino where the chips were the stomachs of millions. What does it say about our system that we can so casually inflict so much pain?"

They couldn't get away with it without "powerful friends" in government.

Wink, wink.

Release The Transcripts - Now

If they are that bad, you will never get my vote.

If they are not released, you will never get my vote.

Let's see what you "told" Goldman Sachs.

Your turn.

Start With The Position Health Care For All - Then Don't Compromise

You want votes?

Try it sometime.

Maybe you could start with say "Health Care For All And a 20% Increase on Unrealized Capital Gains Over 20 Million of To Pay For It"

Then negotiate.

Don't surrender first, then beg for crumbs.



Liberals / New Deal Dems Won't Be Screwed Again - Beware Compromisers

Liberals / New Deal Dems Won't Be Screwed Again - Beware Compromisers

Ever since Reagan's Racist Revolution, our nation has been ignoring New Deal Democrats, and moving towards economic oblivion/stress for 99% of Americans.

"Getting things done" means endless compromise with Corporate Scumbags, with economic policies that only benefit the 1%. We all know the list. We are not even a democracy any more. Nothing gets done unless the plunderers get paid first. Our owners.

Liberals/New Deal Democrats have had enough of compromise, and selling out to the big money interests without even a fight. What Democrat would shut down the government fighting for benefits for the poor? Republicans stop at nothing fighting for tax free status for the billionaires, and their corporations. I, and my friends are sick of the surrender strategy. Starting in the middle, and pandering to the economic insane to "get things done".

Enough.

All those people filling all those arenas to see Bernie are the folks WHO KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT.

They want real change, not compromise with the devil.

Take heart.

Rec if you have had enough "compromise".

Hillary Can Get Things Done / Bernie Can't? What A Croc

That is all the Clinton Gang can say.

She can do it, and Bernie can't.

Really?

It's all they got.

I see it over and over.

Of course there is zero evidence Hillary would be more effective at ANYTHING (passing legislation) than Bernie, but they keep babbling their crap.

I for one am getting sick of it.

We don't know what we can do until we try, right Hillary?

One thing is for certain. Once all the favors are accounted for, what will be left to do?

Perfect Winning Election Issue May Be Ignored - Tax Loophole Legislation - Bernie?

A foreign entity of a corporation can loan 'their" corporation money, and then write off the interest saving millions in taxes. This is the most brutal in your face tax rape loophole there is, and Sander M. Levin of Michigan, the ranking Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, and Representative Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Budget Committee introduced a bill to stop it.

Bernie, Can You Hear Me????? Perfect Hammer For You!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Use It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/23/business/dealbook/two-ranking-democrats-to-offer-bill-aimed-at-inversions.html?_r=0

Of course the bill will go nowhere. Republicans will ignore it, and Dems will pretend it doesn't exist.

Think about this. Imagine if you could loan yourself money, and then write off the interest. Wouldn't that be great!!!!!!

Corporations do it every day, and Republicans, and all too many Dems love the idea.

Let's do something about this Bernistas. The perfect election issue for Bernie, and Bernie alone.

Make sure ever person in America knows the Republicans, and their allies won't stop this or support the bill ending this from of tax rape.

It's election season. What an issue!!!!

I Am So Proud Of DU - All The ACTUAL Clinton Baggage Not Being Discussed Here

It just occurred to me. There is so much Clinton Family baggage no one here has not brought up, and the Sanders campaign has not brought up it amazes me.

I am really proud of my DU friends for not going there, even when they are passionate Sanders supporters.

When it is General Election time, it will be history revisited time, and it will be brutal. Non stop history lessons.

Imagine where the Clinton Campaign would be today if they could talk about Bernie's "history" when it looked a lot like theirs. Would be f-ing ugly. Beyond ugly.

Thank you Bernie, and DU for staying out of the gutter, where there is real actual slime we all remember.

You would have to live on a different planet, and have a different set of values than me to think Bernie is more electable then HRC.

Morgan Freeman Obviously Doesn't Understand Questionnares - Hillary Is Not Trusted By Most

Morgan Freeman may trust Hillary, but an overwhelming majority of Americans don't.

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/morgan-freeman-dismisses-concerns-about-hillarys-trustworthiness-political-hogwash/

She could have played it safe.

Kept her hands out of the Wall Street cookie jar for the last 7 years.

She didn't.

She was well paid for god knows what.

"Giving speeches" my ass.

The bottom line is I, and other Americans don't trust anyone who is being paid millions by Corporate Scum for "nothing".

I hope Morgan Freeman reads this post from his ivory tower.
