2. Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night! Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the Light!!!

Dylan Thomas' words are apropos to the dying of real democracy in the Democratic party! I will not stop fighting!

3. Just another keyboard warrior for justice my guess.

4. Most people's eyes glaze over at the word "oligarchy"

Even if you believe it's true that we are one (I find the claim comically simplistic; for starters oligarchies can actually accomplish things), you're not going to get broad national support by shouting that from the rooftops.

6. I disagree

People are starting to understand their real problems come from living in a country run by wealthy corporatists who make sure we never get to drive the train.

Oligarchy is where it's at, and the more we say so, the more traction the concept gets, because it's the reality we live in.

7. Well, the results speak for themselves: it didn't even convince a majority of the more liberal half

of the country.

9. Yes they do, but the opposite way you think

The oligarchy may well win this one. It was a great challenge of astroturf corporatists who had the entire political machine and media establishment on their side, verses a somewhat comical old democratic socialist who ran without corporate money, started late, and made it a very close and tough race.

Your statement basically says might = right, nothing more. Of course the corporate machine has great power, the Clinton political machine is maybe the most powerful of all-time.

We made great progress this election, we're on the right track and need no advice from you re oligarchy.
