2. So How Many Strikes Was That Against Democracy, and for Oligarchy?
Sun May 22, 2016, 07:43 PM
May 2016

Let's see... 1) The limited, defective debate schedule (only six, and only on weekends) 2) Huge voting restrictions and suppression in Arizona 3) Voter suppression and purging in New York 4) Throwing out Bernie delegates at the Nevada Democratic Caucus and what next? This summer's Democratic convention will really be interesting... All this, and the corporate media shoving their Hillary biased talking points down Bernie's throat whenever they had to interview him - only after they could no longer afford to ignore him.

Whether it's either a corporate oligarchy under Hillary, or a more violent, exclusionary and bigoted type of fascism under Trump in November, the truth is that this will be the saddest choice that our voters have ever had to face. The real loser will be American democracy.
