Sanders = the future, all other candidates = the past, the past full of criminals, cronyism, 1%ers

It's like walking back into time around here reading posts about dumb Rs are and how the MSM has gone off the rails. Guess what people, that happened 15 years ago at least, more like 35 years ago when Raygoon was elected.

Americans want universal health care, free college, increase in SS and Medicare, higher min. wage, stronger unions, way less money spent on wars, a real media instead of a 46th ranked propaganda machine, protection of U.S. jobs not TPP bullcrap, a government that represents the people not the criminal banks, a government that will hold war criminals and torturers accountable, a Justice Dept that actually enforces justice and, jobs, not rigged employment numbers.

You want to keep picking between the lesser of 2 evils go ahead, it's still evil.

It's been the only option almost as long as I've been voting, my first vote in a Presidential race cast for Jimmy Carter being the lone exception.

BTW... Raygoon. I like that. It resonates.

At least at this juncture. I loved him channeling FDR when he said he welcomed the hatred of Wall Street and the ultra wealthy.

HRC is a creature if the past without vision and without courage. And it's fair yo say she's without smarts because this email fiasco is of her own creation. Moreover she's just a bad campaigner.
I look at the polls right now and laugh. It's pure name recognition. That's all. Meaningless to what will happen in the primaries. If I was Bernie and O'Malley I would agree to have a townhall together! Express the obvious, offer ideas, solutions and hard proposals with an agreement not to go negatived on anyone including HRC, except Republicans. HRC candidacy would be over the next day if it's not mortally wounded already ...

Everything you said is on the list. Oh, and we're so tired of it… That's where original thought process comes in. We are struggling with this as part of a paradigm shift.

I still hear a lot of "ME" and the shift is "ME is really WE". We ALL have these problems, so what good is it to see that one group must sink (border patrol knuckle dragging argument) in order for the working person to succeed, or not live from paycheck to paycheck? Look at the holistic approach to returning persons to job structure, beginning with taking care of the cities/states/integrated systems a.k.a. transportation and energy transformation. There are jobs waiting in place which need to go in place.

And, in place in a methodical way that puts us back to working for US, not making one guy to sink in order for the other guy to swim.
