America has had terrible presidents for the last 16 years. First we had George W. Bush, who crashed the economy and got us into wars in the Middle East.

Then we had Barack Obama, who passed out trillions of dollars to the super rich and let the bankers get away with it. No bankers were prosecuted, because Obama decided they were "too rich to jail."

Now we have candidates on both sides that are either billionaires or the puppets of billionaires. Donald Trump wants to sell $16 trillion in America’s assets -- our assets -- to pay the same super rich people who we bailed out in 2009.

There is just one candidate who is standing up to the oligarchy that now controls American politics, and that one candidate is Bernie Sanders. That’s why I’m supporting Bernie. If he doesn’t win, then Democracy itself might die out.
