Speaking of oligarchs and the Democratic Party lets look at just one defense contractor making money off killing foreigners in faraway lands and lets just look at the maximum donation (10K US$) to democrats in 2016 elections. Didnt even bother with the smaller amounts, so sue me.
(Yes I know, republicans are on the suck too. But this thread is about reforming the democrats.)
Data from
http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/pacgot.php?cycle=2016&cmte=C00303024These are the democrats who took 10K from one war contactor in 2016. I regret to say that Tulsi Gabbard is one. Pelosi, Schiff, of course. Difi only got 2K, so she didn't make the cut here, but this is just Lockheed. Look all of them up on opensecrets, it's a laff.
Until we can beat Lockheed and the rest with crowdfunding and crowdvoting, we are screwed.
