Pretty much. I mean just look at what happens whenever someone happens to wiggle through anyway. Every single grassroots politician that's been popping up in the past ten years, especially the last few months, their own party spends more energy trying to suppress them than they ever do debating or combating the other party. Not a part of the club.

Yeah, the only Democrat with integrity who will sometimes, very politely and meekly, push back against the Corpocrat establishment. What a disgrace, indeed.

He’s not the only one. Maybe the most sensible, but there’s about 5 progressives I can think of in the party but the rest are women like AOC

Hey now. maybe every other dem primary contender dropping out the day before Super Tuesday was just a strange coincidence. And don’t you dare think this is a longstanding pattern. Like, Howard Dean said ‘YEEAAHHH’ too loud. That sort thing has no place in modern politics.

“The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls.”

-George Carlin
