the way it was back in the 60's with JFK ,Humphreys campaign and remember how bad a lot of voters hated Johnson but the alternative was scary. Yes that was before elections were owned by the corporate mafia but the thing about our politics of today, Wall St and the corporate mafia didn't steal our political system, it was given to them by both Democrats and Republicans .The big corporate swing came when Hillary's husband was able to reap corporate benefits while pushing NAFTA and gave banks the license to steal
with the death of the Glass–Steagall act.
He cozied up to the unions while at the same time made us think NAFTA was best thhing since the seven day miracle.

Bernie Sanders is talking about issues that should have been talked about for sure in 1984 when the trickle down economics were proven to be nothing but a billionaires/millionaires dream
