Can't be fighting the oligarchy if you are a part of it

Sure you can. Actions taken in the right direction are still going in the right direction regardless of who makes them.

This would be like saying that a member of a capitalist society can't criticize their society. It reeks of "yet you participate in society".

Bernie is a sheepdog for the oligarchy, he's the worst type of politician. Giving the illusion to voters will have a seat at the neoliberal table if they only hang around long enough. He talks about oligarchy then asks them to vote for his good friends the oligarchy.

Valid point, Publicist Paper with a couple controversies, but his message still stands.

We need to do more in order to make the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. If we want change, we need to change to make it happen.
