2. This is why of many reasons why I support her..................................

I have not heard any other candidate say anything about these "rubber stamping" of mergers, just look at what happened with CBS and Viacom.......................I remember when cable use to be $5.00 bucks now its around $150.00 to $200.00 a month............and now the country is down to six or seven television news programs, one being supported by donations Free Speech TV.....and two or more that are just propaganda shows of disinformation, flat out disinformation........that is not free market capitalism.............and has for phone mergers...........another BS scam................and then the big thing in the current room of the thought police is social media platforms, one in particular forum placing ads on the platform that are outright lies, and then just saying FU public, we have no principles to "FACT CHECK" ............................and he and others pays zero taxes.....................................

Yepper, that is why I support Senator Elizabeth Warren.......................she exposes the hypocrisy with her principles and understanding of the issue's....................
