(1,370 posts)The larger point is that the we're living under a political system that has been hijacked by corporations and banks. The electorate understands that their quality of life is diminishing, they don't have the solutions and want leaders who do. The Republican poll numbers are even worse than the Democrats. Congress is at 13%, what we're really seeing is a lack of confidence in the system. People know it's broken and they don't know how to fix it.
It's way past time to drop liberal and conservative labels, the media has rendered them as useless as Socialist and Capitalist. We need people who aren't insiders. Anyone else getting tired of the insider political dynasties? We're actually seeing a media resurrection of another Bush presidential run even though Poppy was a failure and G.W. was a catastrophe.
We need leaders who aren't part of the problem, have the desire and the courage to point out the level of corruption that has undermined our Democratic Republic and push for real solutions...The majority of Americans are more than ready to support a candidate they feel places THEIR interests above the 1%.. They displayed that when they voted twice for a "liberal populist" black man.
