The Wielding Truth

12. It's hard to recognize our Democratic Party when it is bought by the 1%.

How can we call our system democratic when we have a poorly informed electorate and a fascist in the lead of a strained two party right leaning election. How are the rest of us going to be heard and represented if things remain status quo or if trump and all the right wing nutters claim everything.

Really Hillary is fine but she is not in a spot where she can stand unblemished against a pure con man.
Sanders has the backing of those who's eyes are wide open to the corruption that has taken our country to this state of Idiocracy.

How many independents (80% of republicans who are ashamed to be republican)would actually switch to Bernie to avoid their distaste of all things Clinton? More than I thought when I started mentioning Sanders in conversations.
Hey, this is not personal. I can see that Hillary would be the only way if not for the crazy FOX viewpoint of our country and the decay that has been cultured since the super rich have forgotten that they are Americans first.
