imo Glenn Beck is a sociopath, but he's right about voters being PAWNS [View all]

Voters on the right and on the left are pawns in "their game" - corporations and oligarchs - and will continue to be pawns until we have effective public financing laws, as well as public funding for at least one news source that operates within "Fairness Doctrine" principles.

Divide-and-conquer tactics keep the charade of U.S. democracy going - and the only thing I see on the horizon among Dems that might change this is a run by Bernie Sanders and/or Elizabeth Warren, who seem to have both the nerve and the vision to take on the status quo.

Ultimately, there is no way to stop being pawns except to stop - and that means the people have to unite.

Just something I've been thinking about. What are your thoughts?
