"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.

    I think he’s begging people to continue trying the peaceful route… One of my biggest issues with him is that he never really seemed to fully grasp the true depths the oligarchy will stoop to, and what would be required to stop them… He did nothing to stop the Clinton people’s bullshit, as though his mind just would not allow him to believe they’d do it, just accepted Clinton’s bullshit “victory” without fighting. Maybe that’s it… He has all the right ideas, he’s just not willing to actually fight, get dirty, accept that when dealing with sociopaths you have to assume they’ll do anything and prepare/act accordingly. Idk
