(10,518 posts)I see it in the court system (BP oil spill litigation), tort reform etc., in the media, and worst of all, our Representatives. Just the name of them, "Representatives," is a joke now.
They used to be OUR Representatives, now they represent Donors, yet we elect them time and again! Our candidates are pre-selected by the Plutocrats as witnessed during the interviews Sheldon Aldleson conducted for deciding which campaign gets the life giving money from a billionaire. Almost all had their own billionaire or they were a billionaire in their own right.
We are putting forth our Party's candidate for President who is the undisputed champion of raising money from a variety of wealthy Donors. Major Donors from all sorts of industry and banking, but we are just to believe her when she says that all that money and support mean nothing, no favors. She has some serious people expecting their quid pro quo. The sad thing is that on the Republican side the media pumped up Trump from the beginning to be this big, scary Teflon candidate. He is scary at least. A powerful Bogeyman you cannot risk and TPTB know it.
I will however be supporting the ongoing political revolution!
