Yes, we can't win the nomination as it is going.

But I wonder after all the mocking of us by the Democrats in office, I wonder what is going to come of us? Some pundits have said we moved the party left but I'm waiting to see. We want sound banking rules that protect the integrity of the system and our holdings and protection of the FDIC from speculation. We want trade policies not to reduce wages and national decisions which protect adequate and useful regulations concerning the environment, domestic jobs, retirement and healthcare. We are war weary and want it as a last resort, not to open new markets for international exploitation. We want investment in publis education, not divestment for privatization. Does anything we want matter in the least? We want ladders of opportunity and security in our lives and to leave corporate boardrooms out of those decisions.
