Honestly even Beto I’m not overly thrilled on. I get the sense Trump will just expose him as being way more left than he claims he is and I didn’t feel Beto performed well vs Cruz in debates. Now Cruz is actually a tough debater but i didn’t see that Clinton/Obama savvy nature with Beto outside of his good looks

I disagree, personally I'm worried Beto wouldn't be left enough.

The Clinton/Obama style of politics needs to end, or else private corporate structures will continue to expand throughout are entire country.

It is this casino style capitalism that regulates individual freedoms through external affects that is why communist anarchist like myself oppose it.

lol - speak for yourself - my IRA thinks it is a very good thing.

the rest of this post is just word salad. Utterly meaningless

It's the truth. Stocks don't help people, they make the economy more unstable by rewarding non-producers.

Labor is not a commodity, it is a human function and should be treated as such.

Labor is a commodity. A company which employs people must make a return on them. If they pay you 1$, they need to earn 2$ from your labor.

A simplistic and false understanding of the wage system in a corporate economy.

Labor is a tool controlled by outside forced to maximize production while minimizing costs, that means the workers themselves are not considered a part of the company, but instead a tool for exploitation.

Most often what a worker produces is controlled, and by itself valueless, and no say is allowed by the worker in their own behavior as the corporate structure is a totalitarian one.

Big Pharma is a main culprit. Wanna know why we can't just buy meds in another country for a fraction of the cost? "Government regulation" made it a felony to do so. When you hear "Government regulation", it's best to just think "Government-Corporate collusion".

I don't believe democrats will stop it as many are also influenced by private insurance and financial institutions and voted for the removal of dod-frank, but voters could at least hold their feet to the fire.

Again I hate democrats, they are an imperialist capitalist party that supports the status quo, but we don't have many choices left here.

"Trump should not be reelected."

Thankfully you only get 1 VOTE like the rest of us!


"His financial deregulation are going to set up another financial crisis."


Just MORE baseless useless "predictions"!
