(24,411 posts)All you have to do is listen to Bernie Sanders talk about the corruption in our government and how our democracy has been turned over to the corporations--who are in bed with our politicians.
Bernie is one of the handful of politicians who DARES to go up against the stranglehold of corrupt politicians in both parties. He'd definitely the only presidential candidate trying to stop it.
We're very lucky. We finally have a Presidential candidate who is speaking about and verbalizing the things that we write about on message boards like DU.
Frankly, I am sick and tired of complaining. I'm sick and tired of watching my country go down the drain. I'm sick and tired of fellow Democrats (including the politicians) who insist that those who are not on board with this corruption--are like kids who don't get ponies.
We are right. They are wrong. It's going to take a lot to bust up this corruption, and electing Bernie Sanders is a good first step.
