A few weeks ago, Bernie Sanders’ Twitter account Tweeted one of its true-but-repetitive bumper sticker slogans: “If all of you stand up and fight back against corporate greed, there is nothing, nothing, nothing that we cannot accomplish.” A number of liberals responded saying that this was totally irrelevant to current affairs. One person smugly replied: “We’re dealing with Russians and traitors today, not corporate greed. Do try to keep up.”
That speaks volumes. The suggestion that we shouldn’t be talking about corporate greed right now because our real enemies at the moment are the Russian government and people in our government with personal connections to them, as though corporate power is an occasional blip on our radar we can afford to ignore sometimes, is absurd. Furthermore, if you think foreign governments are more of a problem than America’s own wealthy and powerful, your worldview may not be quite as far away from Trump’s as you think.
Democrats are the dumbest people on earth
Russia is also a plutocracy using nationalism to distract from this insight. The fact that the two countries can point at each other means they mutually benefit from keeping up this charade.
The leader of our ruling party is a billionaire who owns castles and wineries and likes to pretend being a duke, all of our natural resource reserves were plundered by oligarchs, all of this was done with aid of the Clintons, and the democrats dare call Russians and not corporate greed the real problem?

Well see, you’re foreigners, but -
Dammit I can’t bring myself to say it even as a joke. : /
Either way, from what I can see there are many people the narrative isn’t working on, at least on the Russia angle, though corporate greed is still ignored. Still, I think I prefer this to the Clinton timeline.
