Reporting and transcript: Jimmy Carter: US Is "just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery."
Context and Audio: Phil Hartman Radio Show
I have taken a lot of flack for some of my positions against various candidates. I also get it for things like discussing some of the results or fall out from candidates votes or actions or pointing out inconvenient truths such as that polling that under counts people under 45 are not valid when 52% of the electorate was under 45 in the 2018 election.
But this is why I push back against those things. Why do we push so hard for the candidate backed by corporate america? Why do we keep supporting the candidate that our news media tells you is most “electable?”
President Jimmy Carter is telling us something here. That we dont have control over the government like we think we do. And the question for all of us when we go to vote at the primary
is:
Who do we think is the best candidate to take it back? Not just from Donald Trump. But also to bring it back from being an oligarchy bought and paid for.
Joe Biden? Kamala Harris? LOL.
Even Elizabeth Warren has admitted that she would take corporate money for the general election.
There are a bunch of good choices.
Candidates who don’t speak longingly
of working with segregationists and a history of supporting their policies. Nor candidates who have a history of generating record profits by imprisoning dark skinned people in for profit prisons.
Lets vote for the candidates who support ending socialism for oil companies through subsidies and tax breaks. Lets vote for the candidates who are against endless war. Lets vote for the candidates who are all about people. Not just profits.
This is why I say Vote Blue No Matter Who is about manufacturing consent.
