"A Humongous Vampire Octopus Sucking the Life Out of Everything It Touches" ...

[Impedimentus]

to paraphrase Matt Taibbie's articles in Rolling Stone about a certain large financial institution.

The "squid" brings to mind Simon Head's excellent article "The Clinton System" in the New York Review of Books (NYR Daily).

Everyone who wants to be an informed primary/caucus voter should read Head's article.

I can't express in words my disappointment and disillusionment in the political system after reading about the extent of corruption described by Simon Head.

Please read this article before you cast your primary or caucus vote - you owe it to yourself and to the future of the country to become informed about the issues raised and documented in Head's article.

[choie]

7. why should it have been hidden?

touches a nerve?

[UglyGreed]

19. At least it has not

been posted ten or twenty times today or yesterday like the Sanders walks out of interview has.........

[choie]

3. "The Clinton System"

is a really damning piece of journalism. Unfortunately, most people won't read it and certainly the Clinton supporters on this board don't give a damn how corrupt and compromised she is.

[EdwardBernays]

4. Some

Even revel in it.

[choie]

6. Sure seems that way

n/t

[EdwardBernays]

11. I've seen it

With my own eyes... People that think her corruption makes her better able to play the corrupt system etc.

So gross.

[Skwmom]

20. A corrupt system that benefits them, their friends and their backers. n/t

[FlatBaroque]

14. They have convinced themselves that money is absolute power /

[redstateblues]

13. Haters. All you guys do is attack

More condescension form Bernie World. It's not working-you are in an echo chamber. The only people who are listening are BSS

[Trenzalore]

16. They were doing better

When they made the debate about policy and what they believed Bernie could deliver.

Someone gave Sanders bad advice and he decided to go negative. When people look back at the campaign in July, I believe that will be viewed as a mistake that led to this not being close.

[choie]

18. That says more about Clinton supporters

than it does about Bernie supporters. You're right - I hate corruption, even when it's in the guise of a Democratic candidate. The fact that you don't care that your candidate is tainted with its stink is pathetic.

[UglyGreed]

21. All you are doing

is attacking LMFAO

[SMC22307]

12. Kick. As a Hillary supporter just said in yet another thread...

attempting to smear Bernie, "let's flesh it out."

Yes, let's.

The capability of some people to forget history is just astounding.
