1. Bernie Sanders is our last chance to stop the TPP and TTIP in their tracks.

I wish more people realized the utter seriousness of those kinds of "trade" deals which are actually designed to do away with meaningful national sovereignty. Obama's working feverishly to get those deals ready to be signed, sealed, and delivered by the next President of the United States. When people wake up sometime in the future to find that their government cannot regulate corporations to any degree whatsoever, they are going to wonder what happened. Hate to sound cavalier but ... you snooze, you lose.

2. I have a different view...............

buy local.

3. yes - small local business cooperatives

growing, building, producing, servicing, selling - everything local.

but no international trade agreements that give all of the power to the corporations and make poor people poorer. fuck that shit.

4. The reason Europeans can get these vast numbers out

Is that they have a strong union structure.

Ninety thousand. And we think it's a big deal when Bernie draws 28k.

5. They also have a reasonable media. The US media is nothing but a tool of the corporations.

6. Also, Europeans tend to know and discuss issues with their neighbors,

even in cities.

And young people are aroused...
