We can't trust our government

We can't trust the president, we can't trust the senate, we can't trust the courts, we can't trust the DOJ.
The only candidate calling for a revolution/ a complete overhaul of our government is Bernie Sanders. Think about it.
VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!

First of all, he will not be the nominee. Even if that did happen, he would lose. If by some fluke, he did win, he would not get anything done. I base that on his record. I will vote for the person with the best record of accomplishments.

We should all think long and hard prior to making our vote. Currently i support Elizabeth Warren over Bernie. She also offers real change and she has a plan and she does not receive as much flack from folks here about not being a real democrat and one other reason that will be considered ageism so i won't post it here.

recapturing the the White House .. and as many seats in the congress as we can possibly get. (in 2020 and beyond)

I have no idea what a revolution or a "complete overhaul of our government" means, or what that might look like, in terms of Bernie Sanders. I have even less idea how those lofty dreams, whatever they might be, might be achieved. But I suspect they all pretty much hinge on advancing the goals I put forth first.

The people want change, real change. They thought they would get it from Obama but did not get it. Possibly because the republicans took over congress etc. Change did not happen. And then, still wanting change, they voted for trump. The young folks know this and for some reason my old fart brain knows this.
