Change will not come through the White House. [View all]

It doesn't really matter if you elect Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, or Hillary Clinton, the President can do very little to change the system that is controlled by corporations and the PTB.

If you want change, it must come from the people. The House of Representatives is where change must originate. It would help to have a President that agreed with the House agenda, but alone, the President can do very little to change the status quo.

It is the Congress that represents the voices of the people and that is where our primary focus should be, rather than on the White House. If you are looking for proof, look at the last 6 years of Barack Obama.
