How many hours a week can you get? It's relevant. Let's say $15 is a living wage on your community. Are you getting it?

Well you want a concrete answer that applies to you specifically, it seems. If that is the case, then why the unwillingness to speak only in generalities that may or may not apply to you.

Calling someone Mitt, in these parts, is an insult, which is a form of condescension.

Clinton's election will bring an army of Progressives back to the White House and they won't be clones. It will ensure a somewhat liberal Supreme Court confirmation. It will consolidate Obama's gains. It will push forward the gains that have been made regarding equal pay for equal work.

The same question can be asked about Sanders. Neither candidate can do much if we don't have a functioning Congress. But I think Clinton can get some things done whereas Sanders will more likely be isolated and ignored. Sanders is a little more like a preacher. Clinton at least knows the territory and the players better, IMO.

I mainly agree with Sanders philosophy but no matter what I will always vote for the Democrat against the Republican. Most times I have voted, I have had to hold my nose. I have witnessed 4 disastrous Presidencies (Nixon, Reagan, both Bushes) and this country cannot sustain 4 or 8 more years of atrocities. My main issue is the environment. A disaster is looming.....

Although those are MY issues. Don't know what yours are so it would be hard to say. I pray that she will adopt some of Bernie's attitudes towards the economy....

I love Bernie (have loved him for years) but I don't think he's electable and I think Hillary can get people to work with her more.

I'm happy for you that you were able to get someone to take the bait. I suspected as much. Which is probably why no one else made any effort to respond.....



Silliness:

Clinton will NEVER adopt ANYTHING Bernie is for

Clinton will Sign WHATEVER GOP congress passes.

Exaggerate much???

anyone who has been following clintons for years know they are no progressives.

bernie's defeat means progressives lost and corporatists and centrists and neocons won.

I'm a broke college student and I never will believe she will work in my best interests. Only way I'd ever vote for her is if Bernie is somehow her VP candidate.
