(10,539 posts)I will save you a seat on his bandwagon when he gets to the point you think he just might! The status quo after eight years of Obama, while infinitely better than any Republican, is still like indentured servitude. The very rich get their politicians to give them what they want, including Obama, to whom they gave a lot of money to, while subjecting us to their media propaganda and creating the hyper-partisanship we have today. We are at their mercy and they have none.
Wouldn't it be worth the fight to set things right and return Representative Democracy to the people? Think about it, America no longer has representative Democracy. Our former Representatives represent their Donors, first, last, and always. No one can make a credible arguments that this is not the case. Studies have now proven this, as if we need a study to prove that large campaign bribes will get a politician to do what the person with all of the money wants verses the rest of us!
The ONLY ONE in this race that wants to change this is Bernie! If you have kids and possibly grand kids, wouldn't you want them to grow up with the benefits that many of us older folks had when we were kids? I got a great public education and was always able to find a job making money as a teenager, that is not the case today. This opportunity doesn't come around every election, or every other election, it is very rare! Make the most of it, take a chance and help us fight for OUR RIGHTS and for our Democratic form of government. We currently live in a Fascist state where business controls government. The PEOPLE are the ones to be filling that role that business has usurped, let's set things right!
