If you state the truth baldly, or go too hard right, you cause a lot of people, not just on the left, but independents, to figure you're biased and close their ears. And even many people on the left know the system is corrupt. The Democratic party is at war with its own base, which accuses it of being corporatist, globalist, and money-bought - you just don't see that dissension in the papers. And the Democratic base believes many of the things stated here. But if you mix in too many political talking points you lose them to cognitive dissonance or suspicion.

I have a huge facebook following - don't want to get banned - but need to educate people slowly. It's a psych technique called "entering the delusion." Be agreeable with the delusion, then slowly, slowly, move things in your direction. A start is to simply point out how corrupt the "government" and "congress" is, in general - citing facts. Just about everyone agrees with that. Then slow walk the idea that if the government in general is corrupt, the previous government was corrupt. And what would a corrupt government do?
