all the passions, pro and con spent over any of our candidates is a waste. With the law making, I repeat, law making and judicial sectors of our government being daily bought off by the lobbyists who are controlled by people in the powerful banking and corporate sectors of our society, we don't count, Wasserman has told us va' a farti fottere! when it came to important concerns about the Democratic Party 'leadership' bias in favor of HRC, the banking and corporate friend, that is ahead, slightly in delegate count this primary season.
With the PTB who are the corporate and banking powers who are controlling lawmakers of every political stripe, we wanting a particular candidate like Bernie may be the wisest choice for caring and discerning Americans, but our Party 'leadership' and the lobbyists are the final say. This sliding in of electronic voting machines was brilliant in their ability to destroy the true vote counts of the people. Money has totally corrupted our system and we don't, so far, have the power to stop its influence on our Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches of government when it comes down to the welfare of the people versus corporate and banking greed.
Bernie or Hillary. Doesn't matter. One is already proven to be "uberfriendly" with the PTB that money and greed represent in our 'democratic' system of governance and the other, Bernie, if he should by some miracle end up at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. as POTUS, will basically be thwarted in his idealistic campaign promises just as our current POTUS has been for the last 7+ years.
I will vote for whoever our nominee ends up being, but I've grown up, politically, culturally and racially in the last 7+ years. Racially, I know certain races don't count locally or nationally, proven from Micheal Brown to Sandra Bland to Tamir Rice, an 11 year old and all those beyond. Culturally, Trump and his followers have shown me just how debased this society has become. Politically I understand the power money has versus power of the people. Money WINS EVERY TIME.
Until enough people and politicians want that truth changed, it shall remain the truth of our system.
