‘Americans not buying democratic mask of US elections anymore’

[FreakinDJ]

The Democracy Spring protest in Washington, DC is a sign that Americans are simply fed up with the current election process, which has led to an oligarchy oriented at a “small cabal of elitists”, Curtis Ellis, executive director of American Jobs Alliance told RT.


Some 400 arrests were made after the Democracy Spring march and sit-in at the US Capitol building on Monday. The demonstrators slammed the current election system, the massive influence of money in politics, and the rise of inequality.


The American people have had enough. I could say they have finally woken up. They’re aware, they’re not buying any lies anymore. They’re aware there’s an oligarchy that’s ruling this country, whether it’s a Democratic Party or the Republican Party, and they are not falling for it any longer.

You see, in both parties you have Donald Trump running away with the nomination because he’s saying: ‘I can’t be bought. All of the politicians are paid for by lobbyists.’ Bernie Sanders is saying the same thing on the Democratic side: ‘Hillary Clinton is paid off by Goldman Sachs, the international bankers that run Wall Street and the City of London.’ David Cameron is under fire for his Panama Papers’ secret bank accounts.

8. You get credit for getting the first response but lose any credit for you lazy-assed response.

23. So it's RT? It's not false. N/t

2. An aware electorate terrifies the rich and powerful.

RT: Is there a realistic chance that the protesters’ demands of electoral reform will actually be met?

CE: Probably not in these election cycle, but as John F. Kennedy says when peaceful revolution becomes impossible, violent evolution becomes inevitable. If the oligarchs at the top of the Democratic Party and at the top of the Republican Party manage to quash the assurgent candidacies of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, I just say ‘Katy, bar the door.’

We can only imagine what will happen in the next election cycle because people aren’t buying it anymore. They’re well aware that the huge mega-corporations that operate on a global scale have corrupted the political system.

3. ... and Bernie Sanders, people are becoming aware Clinton has more votes and delegates

[nc4bo]

6. I heard a squeaky sound coming from the basement.......hmmm lemme look.

Ah-ha - gotta reset the mouse traps again. Damn.

[uponit7771]

7. ? sigh, few people understand podium bird speak

[rhett o rick]

9. Yet more and more people are finding out that Clinton is a fraud. She doesn't give a crap about

the 99% and you don't even try to defend her. Her massive wealth is from dirty money but you don't care. Authoritarian adulation.

[FreakinDJ]

10. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop and Hillary turn hard RIGHT

[uponit7771]

12. and if she doesn't I'll wait for the "I was wrong about her" shoe to drop from Sanders camp...

... cause they hated Obama too.

[FreakinDJ]

14. Now your making shit up

[uponit7771]

15. Yeah, you're right... Sanders camp will never ever say they're wrong about shit

[amborin]

13. plenty of evidence from her weasel words, and from her double-crossing actions and voting pattern

[uponit7771]

11. Well, if you call having more votes fraud then more power to yah

[rhett o rick]

16. Voter fraud is more likely to be instigated by the Rich Fat Cats that don't like to lose.

The Rich Fat Cats that your side for some reason have decided to side with. I guess your think that Goldman-Sachs will favor helping the poor. Do you favor helping the poor? rhetorical question. Your support for Clinton and big corporations is answer enough.

[uponit7771]

17. FDR was rich, I'm not a bigot

[rhett o rick]

18. H. Clinton isn't FDR. He wanted to help those in America struggling while the Clintons want

to amass as big a fortune as they can. I think it immoral to side with the wealthy over those among us suffering.

[uponit7771]

19. FDR helped ALL... of the struggling!? REALLY!? Here's the thing about purist....

... they usually don't do facts and math and the "others" don't count either.

FDR would be right of Donald Trump on some policies today, the purist would hate him and Sanders would be calling him Wall Street which means bunny rabbit molester in Sanders speak.

No really... FDR was about as fucked up as the all the other dems ... his bag of imperfect was no less full, ... like Sanders

[rhett o rick]

20. And that's your rational for supporting the wealthy 1% and turning your back on

those among us struggling? How very conservative.

[uponit7771]

21. Sanders supporters aren't "struggling" with anything other than how to be the most condescening to

... the others.

Either way, FDR rich... great president with some fucked up things done.

Purist, like Sanders, wouldn't stand for him today

[rhett o rick]

22. And the Ruling Class that you side with best take a warning from the growing unrest that you guys

try so hard to ignore. People fighting for clean drinking water, affordable education, health care for all, saving SS and Medicare, jobs, jobs, and jobs, no more foreign wars for corp profits, etc. You know all those things your side ignores.

Corp-Profits are number one with the Clinton Class and her conservative wing of our party.

[MineralMan]

24. It's funny when people take a few hundred protesters as an

indication of how the "American people" feel. That's the most common thing ever, to declare something about "the American people."

Apparently, some "American people" feel that way. There they are in the photo. To expand that to 300+ million others is the height of arrogance.

As for this:

Bernie Sanders is saying the same thing on the Democratic side: ‘Hillary Clinton is paid off by Goldman Sachs, the international bankers that run Wall Street and the City of London.’

Please show me when Bernie Sanders said what is in quotes. If you can find a link to him saying that, I will give you a bow. Hint: Google shows only that RT article for that quotation.
