The simple fact is that what Bernie is saying is absolutely essential if we're going to avoid going over the cliff. And people who don't understand this, or who are invested in the impending plunge, really are afraid of him.

But the snarkasm - what's that about?

That the kind of change Bernie is describing is a mortal threat to these players?

By casting them as being in league with Wall Street.

In other words it's only flame bait.

Are you telling me that you really couldn't see through it?

If so, I can only say the big players are scared of him, and it's unseemly for working people to ally themselves with them.

And neither is Wall Street, the banks, the bankers, Hillary, rich people or anyone else for that matter. Bernie is a laughingstock around Wall Street and in banking boardrooms.

To threaten the oligarchy?

He could have saved us from them at any time in his long career! Why this year?

Why are the oligarchs suddenly afraid? Don't they still control the media and the money?

The oligarchy fears Sanders because he threatens their control on our political system.
