The oligarchs and "their" media, as Rhett o Rick so aptly puts it above, will throw everything they can at him it in order to defeat him, and, failing that, to prevent him from acting effectively as president.

The oligarchs just don't get it. They're the bad guys. They're the one who are out to replace government of the people, for the people, by the people with government of the people, for the oligarch, by their bought and paid for political stooges. They are traitors and we will not let them win.

And, if one of their stooges in either party wins, we'll still be in the streets.


There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can't take part. ... And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop.
--Mario Savio



We wiil not fight their wars for oil. We will not allow the NSA to listen to us. We will not obey the rulings of any ISDS. We will not let them shoot us with impunity.
