Republican Gianforte Wins Montana House Race Amid Assault Charge

You are absolutely right : " the rich now control the government and most of the media". But how did this happen - overnight with a Trump victory ? No, President Obama and Hillary Clinton LED the attack on working class Americans ( with the help of endless and stupid wars ).
BOTH parties represent Corporate America as " Wall St. Hillary " knows too well.
 

• Not surprised by the vote. The Democrats are morally and intellectual bankrupt. And having so many bought and sold pseudo-liberal reporters in their pockets does not add any JFK glamour to a moribund RULING CLASS political organization.
  
  The fact that Ben Jacobs IS a sleazy reporter ( just Google the name) was not irrelevant to the rich thug's political victory.
  
  Do the " liberal " Democrats still think that " identity politics " and the New McCarthyism is the ticket to a comeback in 2018 ?
  
  By the way, I voted for socialists, White and Niemuth of the Socialist Equality Party. They focus on CLASS oppression; they are anti-imperialist, anti-New Colonialism, anti-war . Interested ?
