Show me one thing he's done to take on the Oligarchy?<br /><br />And his FP has taken the US fro 'bad' to 'bad and confused'.<br /><br />The only thing that separates him a bit is 'MAGA': typical blaming of outsiders which we see resurface from the right whenever there's a crisis. The 'Left's' response to that is very poor, so they've lost that part of the vote for the foreseeable future.

They are all private (as opposed to publically held) corporation. In this sense, he is very bourgeois, in ways that the salaried directors of public corporations are not. And it is this bourgeois aspect that sets him apart and allows him to "faithfully" oppose the establishment "salaried professionals".Joe Conservativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02696367580635901992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181936002477690850.post-21598083750455789432019-07-03T08:10:17.523-07:002019-07-03T08:10:17.523-07:00Chomsky can be a hoot!

People don't generally go out of their way to intentionally "deceive" others. They do what they believe to be in their overall "best interests." And sometimes "personal interest" coincides with "national interest". It's the principle that formed the basis for the founding of America.Joe Conservativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02696367580635901992noreply@blogger.com
