3. and if they don't, we can google it real quick

and edumacate 'em

[barbtries]

2. no.

what are the other words?

the Fighting Oligarchy Tour brought out thousands upon thousands of engaged people.

I don't want to watch it. I'm afraid one of the other words might be propaganda.

7. Here is the list:

bi-partisan
common sense
authoritarianism
oligarchy
embroiled
resurfaced
fueled
distraction
kitchen-table issues
pocketbook issues

4. I somewhat agree with this ...

because half of this country thinks that "Socialism" is "Communism".

We---on the Left---have to remember that those---on the Right---are dumb as bricks.

5. Give us the words, TT. Pretty pleeze..

We don't need no stinkin' video.

Just funnin' so to speak, but I got paperwork to do, so busy but curious.

I really hope we're beyond oligarch, because in reality we are waaay beyond oligarch. How 'bout tyrant surrounded by oligarchs?

6. I have never heard a non politition regular human use the words oligarchy or

authoritarianism. Rich and dictator people understand.

10. Using the wrong word makes you look like a 1/4 wit

I agree with Psaki... I have been saying for months to please look up the words you are using.. Bernie is using the word 'Oligarchy' because it's easy to recognize and he doesn't have to waste time educating those who don't have an expanded vocabulary.. But Oligarchy means "rule by the few".. And that may be true, in a broad brush stroke kind of way.. I personally think a better term would be 'Plutocracy'.. But it's not as well known of a word.. And Plutocracy means - 'rule by the rich'.. So I agree, somewhat, that maybe we should use words that better describe what we are talking about.. Instead of words that are easy to use and recognize, but really don't define the issue of 'rule by the rich'..
