Oct 2015

the opportunity to raise the minimum wage to a living wage? or the opportunity to hold wall street and banksters accountable? or perhaps the opportunity to expand medicare? or the opportunity to reform the justice system? what exactly is it about the sanders platform is offensive to you? is it "offensive" to uphold democratic values? what exactly do you find so objectionable about sanders?i really do not understand this.
