yeah, its goodman....deal with it


Hillary Clinton’s political machine has been busted — thanks to Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren
HA Goodman

Several years before Bernie Sanders zoomed towards a virtual tie in national polls with Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren began the discussion about Wall Street’s influence in American politics. Warren even declared in 2014 that a portion of President Obama’s Omnibus bill “was written by Citigroup lobbyists.” Few politicians have directly accused investment banks of writing U.S. laws.

The Massachusetts Senator was able to introduce the topic on a national stage, and even though Sanders has spent his entire career championing the same message, she succeeded in publicizing a sense of urgency. Warren paved the way for Bernie, and in doing so, helped the Sanders campaign undermine Hillary Clinton’s enormous political machine; a monstrosity that benefits from the status quo. I explain why Bernie Sanders has already made Clinton’s political machine implode in the following YouTube segment.

I think a lot of people are seeing how things could be and should be in politics. I know I'm never going to be satisfied with going back to the status quo. Sanders has opened my eyes. I already was aware of how rigged DC is but it's become so much clearer during this campaign. I'm done being told to settle and "be realistic."
