*Incredibly powerful* Conservative Makes the Case for Bernie Sanders

This conservative lays out--in two minutes--one of my primary reasons for supporting Bernie.

Bernie is the only candidate who acknowledges and is willing to fight the corporate corruption that has infiltrated and poisoned our government. Corporations have purchased the majority of our sad, weak and pathetic politicians. Our democracy has been poisoned.

A short but very powerful video. If you agree, spread this far and wide.

De-emphasize the Culture War wedge issues, and stop the extraction of value by corporations from local towns and neighborhoods trying to build healthy economies and maintain the commons.

I know Bernie favors free college, free health care but it ain't primarily about free stuff, it is about taking our democracy back from the rich oligarchy who uses their owned politicians to get tax subsidies for themselves and reduce any regulation of their activities, no matter how many of our children must fight for their oil profits.

I lurked at conservative cave over the weekend, and even they had good things to say about Bernie. But they balked at the word "socialist."

It's so amazing to hear truth coming from the lips of such a hard, angry, rightwing face, but it's proof that people are waking up.

Everyone is waking up. It's time.

Yes, spread this video. Too bad it's not on youtube.

...because this issue is foundational. If we don't have a functioning democracy, we have nothing.

If the corporations are in bed with our politicians, and our politicians serve the corporations--we do not have a democracy.

That should be alarming to every citizen of the United States--regardless of political affiliation.

Bernie is the only candidate who will do anything about this.

The others participate in it and have contempt for "We The People". Except during election time. They love, love, love us during campaign season. What a bunch of shit head traitors.
