The Only Way the Revolution Wins
WE have break the corrupted two-party system that would allow the most hated candidates in political history, both with negativity ratings hovering around 60%, to be the only viable options to lead the free world. Closed primaries where independents can't participate and allows the hated Clintons to win amounts to saying life-long Democrats who are happy with the system are the only ones who can determine who the next president will be.
The Spanish did it. Why can't we? Watch the video to see how.
This is the first election where the vast majority of Americans are not only waking up to the reality of big money but also realizing that they absolutely hate both candidates. If we don't take advantage of this and create a viable third party, we'll hate each other forever.
Watch my other two videos on the comments section. They give good perspective.

It runs a lot deeper than that I suspect
US residents not only disapprove of the likely candidates but are learning to hate the entire political system that underpins them - that is what really terrifies the establishment.

More & more I'm seeing an advantage to voting for Trump.
Destroys the Republican party- takes the Democratic party out of the clutches of the Criminal Clintons.
A twofer.
Wonder what the Summit in Chicago in June will create?
People's Progressive Party, before the Conventions!
Plenty of circuses, not enough bread to go around.
And they can't figure out what to do about it. No wonder people are getting sick of both their houses.
We have a secondary opportunity to fix or replace the Dems
The Democratic party and its major characters are completely foreign to any concept of a Left of Center people's party. They and their presumptive nominee are smug, entitled Corporate, MIC Conservatives. It appears that there is no hope of reforming the party. This calls for "the wilderness treatment". Put them out of power for long enough that they will have to reform, or be replaced with a real Progressive party. How long do they need to be in the wilderness? At least four years, perhaps eight.
So now the question becomes - how do you do this. Well, we are actually in a really good position to make this happen. The Republicans have a solid majority in the House and the Senate. They will most likely hold onto this, as Hillary will not have any coattails with her high negatives. The only remaining seat of power is the Presidency. If the Democrats find themselves on January 20, 2017 with a Republican president, they will be relatively powerless and in the wilderness. They will have enough power in the Senate to block the worst of Republican legislation, but that's about it.
I'd like to remind everyone that the only reason that the Democrats got back into government is because George W. Bush was a total screw up. The Democratic party kept their powder dry and did nothing even after taking back Congress. In retrospect it's now clear, this is because the Democrats are Republican light and really had nothing to contribute. The Democratic party had become the party of incremental change, where increments are so small that you need a microscope to view them. Under no circumstance would the Democratic party leaders ever shake up Wall Street, the MIC, big Pharma, after all they are the ones who funded their entitlement.
We have to look at the long term picture that continuation of status quo with Hillary as President is creating a greater net negative for society in the long run. Fortunately we have the opportunity to do something about it. I'm hoping that Bernie makes a third party run with Jill Stein. Absent that we may have to vote just to stop Hillary.
Capitalism has always been the rule of the people by the oligarchs. You only have two choices, eliminate them or restrict their power.
I agree with your comment
I think that you may find this article interesting and I hope others read it too.
It talks about how the Clintons destroyed the Democratic Party and why.
One of the first things they did was throw the unions under the bus, but for some reason the unions still support the democrats.
Welfare reform hurt many blacks as did the crime bill and yet they are going to vote for Hillary.
There's a poster who said that he's for universal health care and a lot of progressive values and that's why he is going to vote for Hillary over Bernie. I was responding to him when my damn iPad reloaded the page and I lost my comment. And it was a great rebuttal too.
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
It's really hard to say --
when the political revolution (if it survives Sanders' endorsement of Clinton, unless Sanders wins or changes his mind) will ditch the Democrats. I'm not sure it's going to be right away. But it will happen at some point.
