likely will articulate this stunning Grexit in a way that underscores in neon lights what he's been saying forever. And Hillary, well, she's for Goldman Sachs and never the twin shall meet.

on the threads about the Greeks austerity loan problems.

A lot of supporters for the banksters and oligarchs view of the situation have H in their avatars, well that doesn't surprise me but it is a fundamental difference we have with their philosophical neoliberal support of a failed economic philosophy of austerity. Austerity will be on the table for the US if she is elected even though they will deny it. You better believe it.

Democrats need billions of dollars to run elections and their party machinery. They go hat in hand to corporations and promise more tax breaks and corporate welfare in return. But Democrats can never be as committed to the free-market ideology as Republicans. Democrats need to satisfy some needs of their social base while Republicans can move the goalposts further right and wait for the Democrats to play catch up and Bernie wants to stop this trend



Thanks for the meme its an important one and should be put with our pinned memes.
