whether it is a democracy, monarchy, dictatorship, communist or a junta.

That will never change.

America is actually far far better than the rest of the world.

What is forgotten is that corporations who wield influence employ millions of average people and their lives depend upon the corporations doing well. A lot of small businesses depend upon local corporations and their employees who patronize them.

Sanders never saw or understood the intricate relationships between average people and rich people. They are interdependent. Amazon and Jeff Bezos exist because of millions of people ordering $10 or $20 stuff and if they are not happy, Amazon won't exist.

So Bernie's plutophobia was incongruent and anachronistic.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
