an oligarchy. It's already...
The thing is now, what do we do to resolve this? Is there a peaceful revolution to be had?

We vote, we protest, we sign petitions, we campaign and post endlessly about the problem...

Is a violent war the only answer left?

Then we ask this smart group of people on DU to support someone like
Hillary Clinton to continue this trend, and reign over us like a queen.

I won't do it.
I will fight first. I will fight for my child, and nieces, and nephew's to have a better government than this. I will fight for future generations to have better than this oligarchy. ..We deserve better and they deserve better.

Why so many of you don't see Hillary will only carry what is now happening now well into the future, if she runs, and wins....well

It is beyond me that is ok with you...
