50. It's a gamed system.

Feb 2016

The media is a wholly owned subsidiary of the
corporate rightwing.

The DNC is headed by corporate conservative
Democrats who are aligned with the 1%.

The big corporate and banking money is going
to the Democrat who is taking their money and
will do nothing to rein them in.

And for some reason a really good people's
candidate like Sanders can't gain traction among
the people who need him the most.

Go figure! It's like reverse looking-glass world.

No wonder I'm reading Lewis Carroll right now.
