If Bernie isn't elected president then you will be on your own

If either Trump or Clinton is president you will be on your own.

When you need healthcare - forget it - you will be on your own

When you want further education - forget it - you will be on your own

When you want a raise in the minimum wage - forget it - you will be on your own

When you need adequate maternity leave - forget it - you will be on your own

and the list goes on...

and oh when the draft comes they will really want you

Clinton and Trump are oligarchs and they only have interest in power.

Greece. Some people think that we can fight with growing our own food, but Monsanto (good friend of Hillary) will outlaw home gardens. We must get our Party back first.

We have to organize, work and protest for what we want. It may be helpful or not because Trump and Clinton haven't really listen to us, they listen to the .01% interests and pretend to want to help us. Some people may get their eyes opened when nothing they want happens and finally join us.

If Bernie was president he'd need us to get out and demand what we want too. So let's not go it alone.

we need to look for a progressive to run in 2020. In the mean time we must wrest control of the DNC from the Oligarchy.
