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.
The Dems lost anyway… If Bernie had started a party that did okay this time, it would do even better next time… Until it’s the Dems who are the “3rd party” and can either fall inline or get fucked
but the dems have won and a third party has never won and its bad enough having republicans in power half the time. having them in power for decades in the slight hope that they will be dethroned after that is the height of madness.
A third party has never been given a fair chance. Bernie is the first person in my lifetime who I think could pull it off… But he only has to get more people to sign up for his party than the Dems… 45m Dems, I think at least 15m go with Bernie… That would mean all he has to do is get 15m newbies to sign up… I think it’s doable, even if he actually had to get 25m.
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.
