Salon sounds like a Republican Publication when they misrepresent Bernie's Message

Per Salon - Bernie's success stems from a very simple message: Wealth inequality is destroying the American middle class and leading to increased job loss and poverty. (The old you want to unfairly blame the rich meme.. sound familiar).

This is a LIE. Bernie's message:

A government that should work for ALL people is not. Instead our government has passed legislation that has shrunk the middle class, increased the number of people living in poverty, and made the wealthiest among us even richer. As a RESULT, wealth inequality has increased. Wealth inequality is not increasing job loss, job loss is increasing wealth inequality.

We are moving away from a democracy (controlled by the people) to an oligarchy (were a handful of the wealthiest people in our country control the political process).

What has become obvious: Left leaning publications have no more integrity than right leaning publications.

People say this board is mostly Bernie supporters based on meaningless statistics (the number of people in a Bernie or Hillary Group), the number of posts by self-identified nameless Bernie or Hillary Supporters.

We'll see how many recommendations this post gets.
