Thank you, haikugal!

It makes me sick that our party has been hijacked by corporate Reeps,
and I include Obama and both Clintons in this group.

I understand what happened, I think. As the Reep party became more
extreme and crazy, some of the moderates moved into the Democratic
party. But when they took it over, it became just another arm of the
corporate oligarchy.

Sanders is a great exception... a real Democrat! But the party apparatus
and machine will not allow him to be president, and the rightwing media
... well... you know.

There is some karmic retribution that is about to be played out.

It will hit Madame Prison Warden rather hard. (aka Queenie, and Ms $ 350,ooo a plate dinner party hostess.)

Bernie's only karmic retribution is that he still refuses to release his 2015, 2016 and 2017 tax returns!

But Fox's political and legal analyst (somebody named Andrew Nepatoliano?) thinks that it is very likely that Hillary will be indicted for her divulging the classified material. Not sure if this refers to her involvement with keeping Blumenthal in the loop, even though supposedly Obama told her not to.

So if you want a "pick me up" - watching Fox discuss Hillary can be a good time.

From what I see it's mostly independents and some fed up democrats but it will ensure a Trump victory. Hillary has already lost the general even if she wins the primary. Those who are too myopic, naive or in denial can expect an extremely rude awakening. They live in a dream world if they think these people will choose the lesser of two evils this time. Independents will force not an overhaul of the system but scrapping it altogether.

A completely willfully ignorant response in the thread about 2 separate, unassociated issues.

Even though the Thirdway has been fully documented and exposed, no matter what experienced people who lived through it and whom have witnessed it unfold have to say. Even with several videos of her Oscar worthy bald face lying.........she's as pure as the driven fucking snow.

It's all fingers in the ears La, La, La, benghazi, emails.

Completely oblivious to the fact that she's contributed to the baggage she's dragging around.

That my friend is some fucking killer DOPE!

That, in all it's shape and form are Hillary Supporters and our current Democratic Party.

For any of us who were around when the loyalists Republicans thought that there were no flies on Dickie Nixon and so they voted him in again in 1972.

Only he was not as pure as driven snow, and that helicopter had to get him out of there, when all was revealed. (And if I remember correctly, Congress was a Republican majority at the time.)

A politician can only screw the pooch a certain number of times when it all starts to just smell terribly badly and retribution ends up barrelling at you.

Organizations like that Alec thing and the Chamber of Commerce, plus all these supposed welfare working cover groups.

I don't know if it is infiltration, or a complete inside job? Swear to the Goddess, I'm liking the conspiracy theory about a 'shadow government', more and more.

BBBC wrote a recent opinion that we are an oligarchy.
I think more and more it might be the term that means 'power in the hands of the few'.

Plutocracy
