One thing I loved about Bernie tonight which Hillary never admits is democrats have been destructive

too. Democrats are complicit with deregulation and trade. The democratic party played a vital role in the destruction of the middle class.

4. Money in politics

Want better trade deals? Get rid of the money in politics. Want a more fair criminal justice system? Get rid of money in politics. Want better health care? Get rid of money in politics. Want better gun laws? Get rid of money in politics. Want better laws to fix climate change? Get rid of money in politics. Want our country to fix itself instead of nation-building in the Middle East? Get rid of money in politics.

The media says he is a broken record, but what is really broken is our entire political system. That includes the mainstream media that has been consolidated down to a near monopoly situation.

corporate interests.

The middle class is sinking, we need to look back at those who helped to destroy that most important segment of our country ... and not vote for them.

Those that back free trade deals are therefore LIARS as well as TRAITORS to the working class.

As voters, and we get bad leaders as a result. Money buys politicians. Their advertising, literatures, outreach - and lies we allow ourselves to swallow in the voting booth.

19. She is not well placed to do that since she has been on the side of corporations and WS.

Partisan hacks, some actually get to make a living off it,
the political pundit bobbleheads. lol

I appreciate what Bernie has been trying to do and I wish
he had been more specific and hit back harder on her
record. Clinton politics has been the force that has brought
more misery and destruction to millions of people..world wide.
Neoliberals and Neocons will be defeated and the sooner the
better.
