Why don't some of you want to fix our

financial system? Is voting for a particular person more important to you?

1. That's not a fair framing of the question.

All three candidates have a plan to "fix" Wall St. And I support my candidates plan, my candidate is the only one who deals with shadow banking in her plan.

2. Because vague terms like "fix"

don't capture reality

3. Once again, the "when did you stop beating your wife?" tactic. It serves no purpose other than

to generate high fives within the echo chamber.

5. Yep.

I requested a link for them to back up their claim.

7. Good luck with that!

4. I have yet to hold a conversation with one person on this board...

who doesn't want to change/repair/regulate/replace the financial system in some way. Do you have a link to back up your assertion?

6. All three Dems candidates have plans to fix the financial system.

You and I like Bernie's.

Saying DU'ers who want to vote for other candidates don't want to fix the financial system is incorrect.

That being said you might get lots of drama and recs.

8. Because people understand and think they know and well negotiate the rigged system

while they don't understand an unknown system. They are frightened both that they may not negotiate that system well and that others may negotiate a system that is 'fixed' better than they do... which would place them at a disadvantage.

Psychological research regularly returns results confirming that people over-estimate their knowledge and skill while finding others come up short. So when others claim the 'rigged system' doesn't work for them, as a consequence at the population level of collective opinion, we tend to blame it on their lack of skill. That leads people doing 'ok' toward system-justification even if the system isn't very good.

In short, they prefer the devil they know to the devil they don't.

9. But we know Bernie...

Bernie has been involved in the system for decades.

Heck I helped get him elected as Senator in VT... And I still think Hillary's plan will do more and deal with some of the bigger systematic issues we have.

12. Because some people are making out in the rigged system and like it that way.

They don't much care about other folks.
