Who Is Willing To Take On The Power Of The Oligarchs Who Run The Planet?

Who will stand up to them?

Who will not write legislation to benefit them first here?

Who will represent the future of people who don't have billions in wealth?

Who?

The number one problem on our planet is the fact that billionaires want it all. They are willing to destroy everything and anyone in their path to get it.

Anyone who gets in their way is attacked relentlessly.

Just a little perspective for folks who "want to be left alone".

A million dollar campaign / other contribution can buy almost anything. Just ask Sondland.

The game is rigged.

Who will represent the people who are in the path of the coming disasters, droughts, floods, hurricanes etc?

Vote like your life depends on it.

When it comes to paying for health care, ask everyone else how they pay to cover every single one of their citizens.....

I’ve found the worst rich people are the ones born into wealth. Trump, Kocks, Mellons and Waltons. Not all, but some of the worse.

members and most of our party "establishment" (for lack of a better succinct term) are going ape-shit sky-is-falling about "socialism", "Sanders can't win", "McGovern 1972"! It's 2016 all over again. How did that go for us? End result: let's blame the disenchanted, the disenfranchised; we didn't do it, it's not us.
