13. I'm sure it was a price of admission to White House

It's not like we were allowed any less corporate choices in 2008. I think Obama is a good man who accepted the rules of the road. It was gonna be him or Hillary then, and he was definitely the better choice. TPTB own the office.

This time is a little different. Sanders is real, and has a long record of standing up for the working class and the poor, and voting against unnecessary wars and against the Patriot Act etc. HRC is going to continue to resurrect the bloody coups and squeeze plays to destroy popular left wing democracy in Latin America. And will give us window dressing to triage the most severely impacted by the fta's that her backers want.
