The new "98%ers Party"

[ladjf]

It is clear that the top 2% in income earners are dominating the politics in America while the 98
%ers who make under $250,000 per year are being driven into poverty and slavery by the top 2%. That is not "class warfare" because there currently is no "war". It's a plain ans simple oligarchy.

Among their many techniques of domination is their vigilance against what they call "class warfare".
The instant anyone of the 98% suggest any action against this unfair situation, the rich play the "the liberals are trying to use class warfare. We can't have that. Class warfare is bad".

Bearing in mind that the lower 98%ers have more money, more people and from among those people, more intelligent people than the top 2%, why is the 2% in control? The answer: ORGANIZATION and TIME.

Organization is a procedural matter than can be developed by objective, intelligent thought.
The Time problem can be solved by delegating a few from the many to be the representatives of the many.

I suggest something along the lines of a new political group or party called the "98%ers". This group
could and should include people who are now Democrats, Republicans, Independents or anything else, including people who are actually among the current 2% income earners.

Due to the brevity of this post, I have left out a lot of other ramifications of this idea. Most importantly, I am not suggesting the political parties should be exclusively based upon income.
However, since our current disastrous situation is almost totally income based, the unraveling of the domination by the rich would need to focus on money.

Obviously, I'm not a smooth, well organized writer. To that end, I would welcome suggestions from my fellow DU's on how we could expand on my simple idea that the 98% have the resources to overturn
the oligarchy that now exists.

3. Good. I'll check it out. I'm not interested in being original. Just

would like to see some justice done. It has happened before in the history of the human race.

4. I hear you!

I joined this group right after they formed and figured you weren't aware of them. There are over 40k members of their group on FB, so they are building momentum.

2. imo using a name like that would be smart - make it very clear what you're talking about...

I also think there are plenty of signs that a POPULIST third party could attract votes from across the political spectrum - it would take a well-known and well-funded candidate.

6. Very good idea.

7. I'm worried about your good Senator Brown. He might have

"taken a bullet" for us yesterday by joining Senator Sanders. (I don't mean physical "bullet")

9. I'm in

Dumfukistan, the former state of Ohio, and I think the Dumfukistanis would vote for Brown again....especially after they see what Kasich and his entire RED team do to Dumfukistan.

Kasich is a rich ex-Wall Street boy who likes to make the poor and workers suffer.

10. I keep my fingers crossed for him. He is one true believer

and so far it has worked for him. I am sure
he recognizes he must spend a lot of time
in the state thoroughly explaining his
positions .

He was on Local News last evening here in Colombus
explaining to the people exactly what is going
on.
