Could not agree with you more. It's all so damned true. :mj2
It's unquestionably evident that most Americans reject liberty and peace. Democracy is a hideous form of government; as Benjamin Franklin stated, this was once a proud republican form of governance, but for decade upon decade now American politicians mind-numbingly intone how wonderful it is to have a "democracy." Let us be clear: democracy is a hideous, wicked form of government. The state determined by majority rule is supposed to confer an aura of legitimacy to public proceedings but since all tendrils of governmental activism are merely variations of force imposed upon certain individuals, there is hardly anything virtuous about democracy at all.
What's even more hilarious about all of this (the Sanders campaign, particularly) is that Sanders is not even a democratic socialist. As crazy as he is, he is sufficiently sane to recognize that were the government to completely annihilate/chain/control the most basic foundations and institutions of capitalism such as the entire market that determines price, or stock markets, the American economy as it is known would grind to an utter halt within one 24-hour time period. So instead he simply wants a litany of heightened regulations and innumerable social programs for the most significant corporate entities and banks and for the poor, respectively.
Sanders is dull as dishwater because his economic fascism is as old as the hills. Or at least, from the American perspective, as old as FDR's New Deal. Sanders is probably vastly more honest and scrupulous than Hillary Clinton (of course, this may be the lowest possible bar one could find in the entire history of American politics). His ideal health care reform program, for instance, would not be a gigantic insurance company boondoggle scam ala Obamacare (for more on that, read here:

Sanders's claims to be a democratic socialist are undermined by the aforementioned points, however. He's truly a social democrat. He frequently speaks of how the rich must pay "their fair share" of taxes. One wonders what Sanders means by the term "fair share." 2013 IRS data reveals that individuals with adjusted gross income, or AGI, of $250,000 or more filled merely 2.4% of all tax returns, while paying 48.9% of all taxes. Their average tax rate was 25.6%. Individuals with incomes of $50,000 or less paid only 6.2% of all taxes, and their average tax rate was a rather modest 4.2%. The average federal tax rate on the "rich" is, as of 2013, at least, already six times the average tax rate on the comparatively poor. How much fairer should it be made?
The Republicans are truly pathetic, though. Such a stunningly lackluster field of candidates now that Rand Paul has dropped out.
The above videos are amusing, at least.
