That's your question, I gave you the resources if you want the answer.

What we know is that Wall Street has been very important in the past. BUT... today, your vote is very important. After the elections are over, Wall Street will be back. You will be dirt.

Real or not, it's not unrealistic.

Obviously, not "official" from Bernie's camp.

Parody or not, just the fact that no one knows shows how poignant it is.

As a Hillary supporter, you come second. She's looking out for #1 and that's not you. In fact, #2 is the 1% and you come after that.

Bernie did not make his fortune from Wall Street and he puts us at #1.

That's why his revolution is a success. It's about us.

It is very scary.

I know everyone hates it when I say this but... imagine if we sent teachers, doctors and engineers instead of weapons and drones?

We'd create fewer terrorists, reduce the death toll to near nil and we'd help these countries evolve.

The military should still be involved but as peacekeepers.

Of course, I'll be called unrealistic and a flower child but hey, I'm tired of our "solution" creating more terrorists and perpetuating the problem.

When we kill innocent people, they are not collateral damage. They are mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. The survivors will always hate us for killing their family members. How is this going to bring peace to the region?

Of course, that's if peace is the goal. It's not as profitable as war, so I doubt it an objective.

I've driven through the Navajo Nation many times

There is no question that they have been left behind by America. When I drive through, I think... before we bring Democracy to other countries, let's spend those tax dollars bringing it to the rest of America. The forgotten Americans.

Agreed.

For once, Americans are not buying what the media is selling. We're about to take a hard left turn as a nation and, although we all know it will take time, left is the right direction to go before we destroy our world.

It's that important. Status quo will just take us where we're heading. Disaster.

We need a revolution to save the world for our children.

It took until 1800 to hit one billion people. 150 years later, we were at 3 billion. Today we are at around 6 and by the time our children are in their fifties, there will be 9 or 10 billion. We need to get our priorities straight now.

If we don't start working harder for Peace, Healthcare, Education and Human Rights, the terrorists win because all we have now is Trump and Terrorists on the news. That's a sure sign of a society in decline.

Bernie is our best hope and the only moral and ethical option.

Every American should be voting for Bernie. It's in their own self-interest. That's why this "surge" of Bernie's is not going to flat line. The more people hear him talk, the more he surges.

My gut tells me we are witnessing an historic event. Just in the nick of time.

I'll take 10% of what Bernie promises over 100% of Hillary.

Stay put or move ahead.

Americans want change and, for once, they aren't buying what the media is selling.

What's sad is that honesty and integrity are so rare in our elected officials that Bernie stands out as the only one.

We know he can not deliver free pizza. We don't want pizza. We want our jobs back, we want healthcare that every other industrialized nation can give their citizens. We want our children educated so they can shoot for the stars like the American Dream promises us all. We want an equal America for all Americans. We want change and we deserve it.

We won't get it all and we know that. But, saying "no we can't" won't even get us a free pizza.

We're going to try. It's the best we can do and better than what we have now.

Perfect Cross-Post.

Just listen to Hillary vs. Barack in 2008...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511061359

This post, and the article, is so important to get to the top of the greatest.

This article makes me so mad.

I knew Barack wanted Peace and Hillary was why we do not have it.

So many dead.

It's a sin being done in our name.

THIS IS WHY HILLARY CAN NOT BE PRESIDENT! ENOUGH DAMNED WARS!!!!!

Why is Regime Change more important than healthcare for all?

This makes me sick!

Hillary supporters - please have a heart and vote for someone who does not love war!!!

This..."The troika of Clinton-Gates-Petraeus challenged Obama over his desire to wind down the Afghan War, bureaucratically mouse-trapping him into an ill-advised “surge” that accomplished little other than getting another 1,750 U.S. soldiers killed along with many more Afghans. Nearly three-quarters of the 2,380 U.S. soldiers who died in Afghanistan were killed on Obama’s watch."

--

"Hillary Clinton seems to be betting that rank-and-file Democrats remain enthralled to Israel and afraid to challenge the powerful neocon propaganda machine that controls the U.S. establishment’s foreign policy by dominating major op-ed pages, TV political chat shows and leading think tanks."

--

"...some prominent neocons have made clear that they would be happy with Hillary Clinton as president."

--

"For instance, neocon superstar Robert Kagan told The New York Times in 2014 that he hoped that his neocon views – which he now prefers to call “liberal interventionist” – would prevail in a possible Hillary Clinton administration. After all, Secretary of State Clinton named Kagan to one of her State Department advisory boards and promoted his wife, neocon Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs Victoria Nuland, who oversaw the provocative “regime change” in Ukraine in 2014."

---

"According to the Times’ article, Clinton “remains the vessel into which many interventionists are pouring their hopes.”

So much more in the article!

A daughter of the most right wing family we know came over and...

This women comes from a family that "has a loaded rifle in every room" and whose house is full of Tea Party / Confederate memorabilia.

She came over with her young daughter and said... "Please don't tell our parents but my brothers and I plan to vote for Bernie".

She wishes he was an Independent so she doesn't have to vote for a Democrat. But, she is.

You know why?

Her daughter.

Shes's afraid and wants her daughter to grow up in a better world than we have.

She said... there is only one person looking out for us in this election.

This is why Bernie will win.

Because we all want a better America.

Now that's desperation!

'Trying to say we live in a bubble when the race is neck and neck.

Sanders surged and denying that is being in the bubble.

Try the reality based world. Silly season is over.
