"My friends, you don’t have to be a PhD in political science to understand that this is not democracy. This is not one person, one vote. This is not all of us coming together to decide our future. This is oligarchy."

Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders is intensifying his fight against U.S. oligarchy, targeting wealthy individuals like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg.

Sanders argues that these billionaires manipulate the global economy, influence elections, and control the government, hindering democracy and exacerbating global inequality.

He believes this issue is crucial, impacting various aspects of society, including climate change, healthcare, worker protections, and poverty.

    all I know is it has not happened historically that I know of outside of the very founding of the nation before things settles down. Yeah the dominant ones morphed and sometimes changed name but it was not like an actual outside party became dominant. further I have had to live with the worse party being in power half the time for the last 50 years due to unsuccessful attempts and things have gotten worse and worse. A one step forward, two steps back scenario. I have said it before but its a choice of with or without lube. I get that some want to vote for no sodomy but having taken it without lube so much I am unwilling to not vote for with lube.
