(10,539 posts)by hooking them up with her Donors, just like she did for Tweety's wife. If they all weren't above the law an investigation would reveal all of the quid pro quo's occurring. It's this type of crap that Bernie and his supporters are trying to stop!
They have been so transparent about it because they have nothing to fear. If we survive Climate Change, history will look back on this era of American politics and shake their heads.
Since the MSM only spews propaganda and election tit for tat, and too many Americans are either too busy working 2-3 jobs, or too uneducated by failing public schools, we have to be the means for them to learn what has happened in our country. We need to explain to them the real reasons they are struggling, how the MSM propaganda works, and how we need to help Bernie pressure our government to do what is in all of our interests.
It can be done one person at a time. I know, I have been doing it for years to explain the benefits of Publicly Funded Elections and why we need them. That is my starting point and it is the easiest part because everyone agrees that our government is corrupt. Even Republicans will listen because I tell them that the Democrats are just as bad. Using Hillary as my example (since they are unanimous in their hatred of her) I explain how we have lost our Representative Democracy to big Donors.
I explain how they control appointments, legislation, who we have to choose from for every elected position, including judges. If I am talking to a Republican I explain how it can affect their 2nd Amendment rights and the wasting of our tax dollars. If it's a Democrat I usually explain how it has cost them their ability to sue and recover if a big corporation has harmed them, or caused the deterioration of public education... Just try to figure out their hot button issues and you can easily show how it has negatively affected them!
This is what it will take to win this political revolution, educating them on why it is so important and necessary.
