"Hillary the Pragmatist vs Bernie the Dreamer" is "Big Lie" Propaganda Sanders has been very clear that no significant reform is possible under our current corrupt political system, which he intends to reform. Clinton supporters. by telling us that only "pragmatic" incremental reform will be possible in a Clinton presidency. are telling us they are expecting Clinton to perpetuate the current plutocracy.

Who's Spoiling Now? Polling Indicates That Democrats Underrate Sanders' Superior Electability at Their Peril: PART 1 Despite scandalous neglect by mass media and predictable opposition from big money, Bernie Sanders is the #1 favorite of the majority of voters. A defective run-off process disguises this fact behind a partisan primary curtain where Sanders loses to Clinton 2-1. Democrats, 30% of voters, don't know that Sanders runs decisively ahead of Clinton against Republicans and are even more ignorant of their respective qualities.

Why Does the Massachusetts Governor Support the Supreme Court on McCutcheon? This open letter asks the honorable governor to explain why he or anyone else should "respect the authority of the Supreme Court to make those decisions," like McCutcheon or Citizens United. Both were extreme examples of legislation from the bench in violation of the Constitution's separation of powers. A politician who refuses to defend the Constitution in the tradition of FDR violates the oath for public service.

The article also surveys other relevant comments about the decision.

McCutcheon: Plutocracy is Corruption McCutcheon is another test case of the kind constructed by plutocrat-interest types to topple the few walls still standing in the ruins of America's election integrity. More important than the ultimate decision of the case by the Supreme Court is the government's new argument to defend one of those walls still standing: A plutocracy "run of, by, and for those" few who buy its policies is a corrupt system by definition.

Obama vs. Snowden: "Parsing the Presser" Series, Part 3 Obama's proposals are designed not to change Obama's program but solely to deflect demands for such change by winning the PR offensive, which turns--as do all Obama's similar deceptions--on Mencken 's famous gambling tip that "no one" has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.
