Sadly some people want life to be easy so they think that Republcons are bad

and Democrats are good. That's as far as they want to think. For that reason it's logical that the Oligarchs with their unlimited wealth would coopt the Democratic Party machine. It just takes money. Sadly there are Democrats that have complained about Citizens United that now are ok with it if it helps their candidate. They are apparently blind to the fact that the Oligarchs aren't going to pay $2,000,000,000 (that's 2 Billion) for Democratic principles. This is capitalism folks, it's an investment.

Poverty rates are increasing, more and more people are losing their homes, jobs and retirements. It will continue to get worse if the Oligarchs have their way (it's not personal, it's just capitalism).

"The Oligarchs don't wish us to die, they just don't care if we do."

Please support Sen Sanders, the candidate for the people.

Let's take a look at your logic. You say "just the facts", which first of all would be a little

audacious for you to think that you have been blessed with recognizing the "facts". None of which you've proven yourself but you believe in someone else's "facts". It's understandable that one needs to choose a side, but you choose the side of authoritarianism to believe. You choose the side of the NSA/CIA Black State that has an unlimited budget and no oversight.

I choose the side of skepticism. I believe that with an unlimited budget and no oversight that the NSA/CIA Black State would do whatever they can get away with.

I think that those that despise whistle-blowers, journalist, and protestors, do so because they live in the denial that their chosen authoritarian gods will be good to them. Gen Clapper might use his unlimited power for goodness if we are lucky, but in doing so, he may nullify our liberties and freedoms. Authoritarians are willing to give up their freedoms and liberties for the promise of a little security. They are fools.

I think you might be trying to play down this new Movement.

There is enthusiasm from places that have been ambivalent before. That's why Sen Sanders is such a threat to the status quo, to the Plutocratic Oligarchs, to Goldman-Sachs and the corrupt banksters. They aren't afraid of Sen Sanders as much as they are afraid of the Populist Movement. It's catching on around the world. Protests everywhere about social inequality and economic inequality.

The Corp-Media and the Conservatives are all denying that there is a movement to their own peril.

Get on board the Populist Movement and support Sen Sanders.
