A handful of people run our media, just like they don’t know the major donors to these PACs.
In order to get politics back working for the citizens, we must teach civics and ethics and how the government is corrupted by Citizens United. Everything and I mean everything is controlled by money. Every damn thing.

and other abominations.

But we can’t start to clean house until we have MORE DEMOCRATS ELECTED to office.

Those who don’t vote are just part of the problem.

Personally, I DO NOT GET why so many people don’t make voting a priority. I wish they’d wake up - before enough of the bad guys slither into office and take the right to vote away.

Wish more elected officials would think like he does. He truly cares about the poor & middle class.

Some of us have been screaming our heads off ever since before the 1980 election that was corruptly hijacked and HWBush and Cheney "appointed" Reagan..........

If that wasn't enough, the 2000 election that was illegally settled by the Supreme Court should have been.

If that wasn't enough, the 2004 election that was corrupted by Diebold voting machines should have been.

Same for the 2016 election that was stolen by Republicans and Putin.

If we don't take the 2022 mid terms, and gain numbers in the House and Senate, we won't need to worry about what will happen in the 2024 election, by then it will be a done deal forever more.........they will have already installed a 100% Corporate Fascist Tyranny.
They are 99.9% there already.........

to recall even earlier. He’s been consistent and dogged about it for close to 5 decades.

Bernie always has some excellent points that he brings up. Bernie has a good heart and he always leads with that trying to help people see what’s going on in the real world of politics and how much on the Democrat side, he lists the
things we need to get done. That said, it’s always an uphill battle but you got to keep trying. Sometimes his ideas seem to go a little too far and they probably do as far as getting accomplished but if somebody doesn’t bring up these ideas, we will never even get close to them.
