The direction we want for our country.

In case anyone doesn't already know: Sanders and Warren are FDR Democrats. Clinton and Biden are Third Way Democrats.

But Clinton pretends to be "just a little bit FDR" in order to win over Democrats who don't follow politics very closely.

Sanders doesn't have to pretend. He's the Real Deal.
