...and trillionaires to run and ruin our lives.

It's not nearly good enough to just say you don't need to be scared of us--there are PLENTY of reasons to be scared of the opposition, but Democrats do not seem to be out there enough pointing out how much control the current Republican party has given to the handful of billionaires that most decidedly DO NOT have the interest of the public at heart.

It is NOT a choice between Democratic Socialism and Capitalism; it is a choice between having a society that functions on the most basic level for everyone and a society where you beg your billionaire overlord for the right to live this week after they've taken your job, destroyed your planet, and bought every election that might have made your life better.
