Both the Republican and Democratic Establishments are under the influence of Corporate

[Cal33]

America's bribery and corruption. This is why our nation is morally and financially in the
gutter. Our GDP is up, but the profits are going mostly to the 0.01% of the super-rich
elites. The Average Joe is paid the lowest wages possible, and can barely make ends
meet without a second job.

Originally there were 17 Republicans and 6 Democrats running for the office of
President. Of these 23 candidates only 4 remain, and Bernie Sanders is the only one
who is actively fighting against this corrupting influence of these Corporations. He is the
only one with the honesty, integrity and guts to do so. What does that say about
the moral integrity of our politicians? Will the rest all be hoping to be in on the take
should they succeed in becoming president?

1. Corporate personhood. The one and only issue anyone should be

Talking about.
Unless that changes, NOTHING changes.

5. Those who are pro-Corporation would prefer to avoid talking about being pro-Corporation -- it

wouldn't look too good on them. Also they might attract fewer of those uncommitted people to
their cause, and even lose some of their members who are unaware of the fact that Corporations
are pulling the strings from behind the screens, and the people are nothing more to them than
the marionettes at the end of the strings.

2. I honestly believe

One of the biggest obstacles to the WH for Bernie is not being enough of a politician, while it has been his job and he has done very well. People like to believe they are in on a secret. What they don't recognize is that the people giving the secrets away are totally duplicitous (that means two faced for people playing at home). I don't need someone who will bluff to me or about me, which is why I reject the idea that I have to buckle to voting for Hillary in November.

3. who says

That you have to vote for anybody in November ?

[hereforthevoting]

4. For some reason

People keep saying that everyone will die or be deported if we let Trump win which is only facilitated by not voting for Hillary.

I get ya, though. I will vote for who seems best for the job just like I always have.

7. Good for you, and a hearty WELCOME to DU!!!

6. Appears we are in the minority, but couldn't have said it better.

People seem content with allowing big money to set policy in this country

[Cal33]

9. Yes, many do, but you won't catch them saying so openly.

8. Corporate personhood is my enemy; as are its supporters.

I do not sip coffee with my enemies.

[Cal33]

10. They are the true enemies of our nation. They are destroying our democracy and trying to

set up a dictatorship, in which they will be the royalty and nobility like those of the past,
and the rest of the people will be their serfs.

Most of the American people don't see this because of the 90% Republican-owned news
media's non-stop propaganda and lies. Too many of our people have been and are
being brain-washed.

It's too bad that Progressive Democrats don't unite to fight against this vicious news
media with a truth media of their own. It can be done, if we put our hearts and minds
to it. In fact, it MUST BE DONE, IF WE ARE HOPING TO WIN ELECTIONS MORE
FREQUENTLY. This, I think, is a sine qua non!!!

[VulgarPoet]

11. Yeah, but the Establishment benefits in the same way the republicans do.

And as you can see, a large amount of democrats-- even those who'd label themselves progressives-- are brainwashed by the oligarchic coprophiles.

[Cal33]

12. Well, if Bernie does become President, I think he will make changes in this area, too. If he

isn't aware of this, we can remind him.

[VulgarPoet]

13. He'll be more open to listening to the people than Clinton will. That I'm sure of.

[Cal33]

14. I'm sure of that, too. Even though I expect no big changes can be made without a great

majority in both Houses of Congress, I expect smaller aspects (like house-cleaning) can
be done.

I do expect Sanders and Elizabeth Warren to work hard on getting enough Progressive Democrats
into Congress during his first term. Then things will really start popping during his second!

[VulgarPoet]

15. The second doesn't start without the first's downticket game, though.

That should be the first focus, and then from there, everything else should fall into place.

[Cal33]

16. Yes, we've got to win this Primary. It is all important for those who want real change.
