This is the absolute best graphic expression of what is wrong with our current governance system I have yet seen. I'm posting it to Facebook!
Thanks for sharing NorthCarolina.

(3,412 posts)3. Sanders is repsonbile for money in politics just like everyone else: He has been
in the Senate for 30 years doing nothing. Why he attacks Dem's
who have done everything to stop big money: instead of the GOP
who love big money in politics makes Sanders just a crazy old man.

(15,662 posts)4. You obviously know nothing about Bernie and haven't
even tried to learn anything about him. He hasn't been in the Senate for 30 years -- a good tell.
I wonder if you can even explain why you support Hillary over Bernie from any policy petspective. Probably not.

(3,412 posts)5. I know everything about Sanders he has sat in the Senate talking for years
He was on the Thom Hartman show talking for three hours a week
for years on the Radio: He was not impressive then: all he did was
bash people who were actually in the fight against the GOP.
Sanders has always sat on the side bashing other people who are
trying to make a difference: he also has spent his time attacking
the Dem party and Obama: He has not been a helped in raising money
for other Dem races.
Sanders is very self center!
