"We’ve got to see the White House move more aggressively on healthcare, on housing, on tax reform, on the high cost of prescription drugs,” Sanders said. “If we can get the president to move in that direction, he will win; if not, he’s going to lose.”
The US senator from Vermont added that he was in contact with the White House pressing that point. “We hope to make clear to the president and his team that they are not going to win this election unless they come up with a progressive agenda that speaks to the needs of the working class of this country.”
What Bernie is talking about should be the minimum expectation from our government. Do the basics to look after the citizens. How long can you feed your countrymen into the jaws of corporations?
They’ve figured out how to get our people to cheer for their own impoverishment: by making sure the network news only reports on war and fear.
I feel like MSNBC does a good and fair job of reporting on politics. They do lean pro democracy, as I hope we all do.

Both presidential candidates have clear cognitive disabilities, and yet, there isn’t a Democratic Primary and the front-runner for the Republicans is brain-dead Donald Trump.
Until we get unlimited corporate money out of politics we will never stop being sacrificed for the wealth of the privileged few.
Yeah the problem is both Democrats and Republicans love unconstrained money. They won’t admit to it but they won’t vote against it. Not even with democracy on the chopping table.
That said, I feel one party is far more open to restricting unlimited donations, and that’s a start.
Yeah Republicans are hellish nihilists, Democrats are sometimes disappointing.
One may be rusty shitbox, but the other is radioactive rusty shitbox that is also on fire.
I’ll vote rusty shitbox every time given the option.
