For once in my lifetime?

Hillary Clinton's vs Bernie Sanders' top donors compared - Imgur

Hillary Clinton is a Wall-Street darling-so is Jeb Bush. So were Obama, Romney and McCain.

So was Al Gore, George Bush, John Kerry and Bill Clinton.

All the above are warmongers as well. So, if a President really only controls foreign and economic policy and they have all pursued the same goals, wars and policies-what is really going on?

Our political process is the literal definition of insanity and we are destroying our country in the process.

Why lend credibility to these scumbags? Why lend credibility to the media, which is colluded and controlled and promotes the interests of nationless corporations and detached banks. Why lend credibility to the two establishment political parties, which have been bought and paid for?

People like Ron Paul, Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, Ralph Nader, Ross Perot, etc. are shunned from debates and given no publicity. It is sad because they seem to all be Pro-American and have the interests of the American people most at heart.


"“If it turns out to be Jeb versus Hillary we would love that and either outcome would be fine,” one top Republican-leaning Wall Street lawyer said over lunch in midtown Manhattan last week. “We could live with either one. Jeb versus Joe Biden would also be fine. It’s Rand Paul or Ted Cruz versus someone like Elizabeth Warren that would be everybody’s worst nightmare.”

I agree it's time for a different direction.

The problem is, that if Paul or Warren were to get in, the Wall St. Class would simply put more money into bribing, I mean influencing..I mean "lobbying" Congress members to go against any policies unfriendly to Wall St.

Obama as a naive 22 year old in 2008, but I stopped supporting him in 2009.

In 2012 I campaigned for Ron Paul and supported Jill Stein but eventually voted for Gary Johnson, as I thought he had the best chance of the third-parties.

Since, we being so honest-will you answer the same question? Will others on here?

Why doesn't George Soros pay his fair share?

Lightbulb Can We Try To Vote In A President Not Backed By Goldman Sachs?

It'll never happen.

The megacorporations will always put millions into the campaign coffers of the candidates for both major parties. That way they have influence no matter the election's outcome.
