1. Thank you David... Stay well...

2. Re: 2nd part, with Russell Simmons -- Weak!

Lieberman is a moderate Democrat? And a solution to our problems? Holy fuck.

Simmons and Kanye are both 1%ers, and they know it.

Please stop the hero worship, 99%ers. These two guys are not helping anybody but themselves.

3. I felt he used Lieberman as an example because he poses the greatest possibility for change.

Even if he is an Independent.

But it sort of made sense from that standpoint.


The Swanson interview was really refreshing. I was hoping for a DU shout. Oh well. It's just nice to have such lucid people representing us. Kind of made me feel all legitimate.

4. No, it made no sense.

Lieberman is pro-Isreal at any expense, pro-war complex, pro-tax breaks for banks and pro his own 1%. Just because he claims to be independent doesn't mean you have to believe him.


Re Swanson interview; Well done, but he needs to stop referring to provocateurs as "gentlemen." They are not, in the least.

5. I think in the very end he clarified this

That Lieberman was just an example of someone that "could" be a good voice as he claims to be independent even though his actions and stances prove otherwise. Someone like this would be a great politician to back the movement as he may convince people on the fence to join the movement.

Also, whats the problem with having the 1% stand with us? I dont understand your issue. Since they are amongst americas elite and rich they cant fight for something right and just?
Im not saying kanye and Simmons are the two most honorable men with their earnings but hey, they are speaking with us not against us.

6. Awesome and simple
