Bernie Sanders: To Defeat Oligarchy, I Would Run for President

[truedelphi]

149. Well, to answer your remarks from my

Perspective, the Democratic Party was once a real party, with vast differences between them and the Republicans.

Those of us old enough to understand what it means to be a FDR Democrat, and who realize that FDR's legacy is vastly different than what the New Age "Liberal" Democrats are forging, know that a Hilary Clinton Presidency is more of the same ol' same ol, Corporate-run state. (The definition of fascism, is after all, a place and time when Corporations run the government for their own purposes. Fascism doesn't necessarily have anything to do with swastikas or goose stepping soldiers.).

Thirty years of New Age Libs and we have a party far, far, FAR to the right of Richard Nixon.

With people like Obama supporting a Totalitarian NDAA Spy State, and the complete collapse of our civil liberties, with Endless wars for profit, with total support for the Nuclear Industry, with total support for Fracking and Pipelines (Obama approved a pipeline similar to Keystone XL over the Thanksgiving vacation,) what do people do if they want to have a decent environment? And to stop the military/surveillance state? Or to ensure that we have a decent safety net? And remember to arrive at such a militaristic, surveillance society, we have to insist on Austerity, including eliminating Social security and seizing that Fund, which currently has a damn Surplus of over 2 trillion bucks.

Right now due to Obama's Big Banking Appointments, 49 cents out of every dollar of profit generated in the USA goes DIRECTLY into the coffers of Big Businesses. Mainly the Four Biggest Banks.

To give you an idea of how out of whack that is, consider that under Reagan, only 8 cents out of every dollar went to banks.

How do we have a middle class if we continue along these lines? Of course, some here would argue we should just re-define "middle class" to mean people who make
$ 300K to $ 600K a year!
