Bernie has successfully framed the debate on the 2016 elections. [View all]

This election is about income inequality and wealth disparity. It's now about how billionaires and banksters are controlling our government. It's about costly trade agreements that offshore American jobs. Its about Medicare for All. Its about the wealthiest paying their fair share of taxes. Its about less war and more diplomacy. Its about a sales tax for stock transactions. Its about investing in tuition free education for public universities. Its about Black Lives Matter, police brutality, education over prisons, LGBT, Latinos, women's right to choose and pay equity. Its about your family and mine being able to have a middle class life again - livable wages, $15/hr minimum wage, guaranteed sick leave and vacations.

How anyone thinks they can out-Bernie Bernie on these issues is beyond me.

He's won the first battle, and that was a big one.
