Auction 2012: Two-Party Oligarchy Vs. the People

This video is a political statement protected by Anonymous and Fair Use laws. It is NOT approved by the Romney and Obama campaigns, as they are both bought and paid for by corrupt short-sighted greed-addicted oligarchs. Anyone who pays attention knows that our political system is corrupt and unsustainable. Our elections have devolved into auctions. Our future is sold to the highest bidder. It’s the two-party oligarchy versus the people. The presidential debates are a tragic joke on the American people, a puppet show lacking legitimacy. Our government is rigged against hardworking Americans through blatant political bribery: campaign finance, lobbying and the revolving door between Washington and the world’s most corrupt corporations.

Truthout is a vital news source and a living history of political struggle. If you think our work is valuable, support us with a donation of any size.

Send a message to the old world aristocrats: This will be the last presidential election of the partisan dinosaur era. The meteor has hit. Both parties are now obsolete and will soon be swept into the dustbin of history. A critical mass of people are now aware and engaged. The evolution has begun…

We know of a new world.

An urgent fundraising appeal: 8 Days to raise $43,000

Thank you for reading Truthout today. We have a brief message before you go —

Unfortunately, donations are down for Truthout at a time when media is under immense pressure. Trump is arresting journalists, Big Tech is censoring independent news, and economic conditions for media have been worsening for years.

Simultaneously, movement media is vital in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian reign. Our mandate to tell the truth, share strategies for resistance, and speak against fascism is ever more urgent in this deluge of political censorship. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.

If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Please give today during our fundraiser (8 days left).
