We were already insisting, that's one of the reasons @DNC cheated Bernie out if the nomination. War is very profitable, and wealthy powerful interests want to keep it that way. One of the many reasons the Democratic party is just as bad as the Republican. They are both bought.

I had my own microcosm of what they did to Bernie, so no one has to convince me of how that works. But it’s still not a reason to vote for Trump, or to sit out the election. He’s too dangerous. First we have to defeat Trump - then we have to seriously wondrously shake things up.

Trump is not an aberration of a corrupt system, but a result of it. Unfortunately we can't defeat Trump by being complicit and supporting that same corruption. Voting for the lesser of two rapists this election means voting for the lesser of two murderers the next.

Still time for them to commit to #M4A & the #GND or there’s really no point to any of this. Neither the planet nor the needs of the working people of this country can wait - why do they think they can refuse these very basic demands? They wanna work for us? THEN WORK FOR US.

That does not sound very peaceful. Only in war is there defeat. Through peace we come out of our microcosms and into mutual understanding. Through LOVE no one gets shook. War is either offensive or defensive. Problem is both sides always believe it is the other who is attacking.
