Congrats on your greatest page accomplishment, maybe you can put it on your resume, but you never explained how this Oligarchy micromanages US elections. This is the most you have said:


Looking at these six recent developments alone, it’s clear that the Oligarchs have learned a thing or two about how to skillfully manipulate elections — democracy be damned — using their tools in the Clown Car, working in concert with the DNC, to insure that no 'political revolution' will be tolerated this time around, and that We the People will again face another sorry-ass choice in the GE between a lesser of two evils.

And yes, I am including Bill & Hillary Clinton as part of the Oligarchy. If Bill Clinton cozying-up alongside George W. Bush on the cover of Time magazine is not enough evidence of this one needs look no further than the Clinton’s net-worth to prove it.


It's "clear" to you, but not to the reader. The fact that the Clintons are rich is "evidence" to you. Doesn't that mean anyone who's rich is in on the plan?

You say that all the GOP candidates are in on it. Do you mean they are given instructions in what their role is? How does this scheme work? Who exactly is devising the plan and issuing the orders? How can it be so all-encompassing but Sanders is not in on it, and he apparently doesn't even know about it? (Since he's very frank and I think he would be talking about a plan to micromanage the election he hopes to win.)
