One of the biggest obstacles facing workers issues in the US is the disproportionate representation that corporate interests recieve, due to funding campaigns indirectly through citizens united. Bernie highlights the end of citizens’ united, and public funding for political campaigns as key pathways to fix the outsized political impact of corporate interests

As long as corporate interests bankroll political campaigns, the people we can vote for will be elected partially at the behest of companies, and will have a conflict of interest in representing American workers

    People like you should trial: living in abject poverty, living in a “communist” state, or even in a community that implements their own demands. Y’all just see a problem with the system and think the only solution is to start afresh with some half-baked, idealistic system that always somehow fails to consider that humans are shitty animals from the get go.

    Y’all run your mouths about anarchy (which will fail as soon as people start murdering each other) or marxism or communism (without even understand what those are or looking at how things went historically) and can’t even fathom why they haven’t worked out or were replaced.
