(11,945 posts)Bernie knows how to stop the plundering and bring us back to a normal, livable life again.
He is the ONLY candidate with the will and vision to do it.

(6,829 posts)I came up with it in a fit of desperation when EVERY name I tried was already taken. It's kind of weird being identified by ethnicity and gender in every post and sometimes I wish I had picked something more generic but it's sorta kinda unique, just like me.

(1,555 posts)I showed to my right-wing brother a few years ago. Unfortunately, it was totally lost on him. He said he wanted to be one of the top .5%.
He doesn't understand what I believe the late great George Carlin once said about the 1%, paraphrasing here "it's a small club, and you're not being invited to join it".
Anyway, shocking information presented in it.

(199 posts)Now I'm going to go cry myself to sleep. To be honest, I'm doing OK financially. Nowhere near great, but OK. It really makes my heart hurt knowing how many people out there are struggling. Compassion is what I think makes someone a Bernie supporter, and knowing that he truly gets this graph and cares for everyone.

(154,021 posts)I posted an OP on this in GD about two weeks ago, iirc. This is where the populist appeal is coming from. The answers are different, but this is precisely where it is coming from.
People know something stinks, and stinks hard.

I'm going to have to go away for a while, at least I NEED to... I'm finding that the unfairness I'm seeing is depressing me more than is healthy. Having to think that I may have to vote for a person I really don't want to because EVEN HERE many simply are willing to settle for "more of the same" that will only make things worse makes no sense to me.
Feeding the BEAST only makes them FATTER and more BLOATED and their POWER will ruin us!
