- He had congress for two years. He could have done it in that time, but didn't

- http://www.salon.com/2015/04/25/7_whistleblowers_facing_more_jail_time_than_general_petraeus_partner/

- I'm against the existence of states and borders in general. I support a stateless, classless world, so yes I am against Obama deporting them, because they're mainly just trying to seek a better life

- Well, the banks failing would mainly have hurt people with a lot of savings, in other words richer people as most people don't have really any money at all in the bank. If the banks failed the many people who became homeless would instead just own their houses

Yes, I realize that socialism/communism is viewed negatively in the United States. Obama wants to keep it that way too, because he's a multimillionaire with a lot of influence and corporate backing. That's why he's not on my side, and why I'll never support him.

-I guess you don't understand or don't want to understand how democratic process works here. The Intelligence Community has a big pull in decision making here.

-There was 2 whistleblowers worth of mentioning in the article, Manning and Snowden. The rest were just careless or wanted to profit off the info they got. It shouldn't be a surprise that Petraeus got a slap on the wrist. After all, we got legal bribary running rampant here.

-Oh boy, I'm not gonna discuss a Mac World idealism right now. There are borders, we live in now and there are laws and policies to follow. If we lived in a perfect world, I'd agree.

-Most only have their family savings as their safety net to fall back on in times of hardship. Which would be in crisis.

-Unfortunatelly, you can't have a cake and eat it too. That's why progressive wing in the Democratic party is trying to fight to get money out of politics.

- And Barack Obama is the commander-in-chief and also knew what the president was capable of before coming to power. Instead, he jsut made that Guantanamo statement to look like a good guy and not have to follow through on it.

- On the article it doesn't make any mention of them wanting to profit off of the leaks

- And I oppose a lot of the laws because they are biased and treat people unfairly

- 34% of Americans have no savings at all, and 35% have less than $1000. So most people don't have any money in the bank to fall back on

- And they're going to get nowhere. Keith Ellison, who was not even nearly radical, still lost the DNC chair. Money is never going to get out of politics within the current system, the whole point of politics is money, that's why property rights are so important in the United States. The only way that will change is with revolution, because the Republicans and Democrats have no interest in making less money.
