It has been observed that european countries have socialist institutions because...

... the leaders fear the citizenry. This is a french protest over unemployment and laws that threaten to erode the protections they enjoy.


This? This is sidewalk chalk.


OMG! Did you hear? A Sanders supporter knocked over a chair!!!



We have no standing, at all, to call the French people wimps.

Looking forward to the last 13 contests, which do you see Clinton winning?

Nebraska
Oregon
West Virginia
Kentucky
Virgin Islands
Puerto Rico
California
Montana
New Jersey
New Mexico
North Dakota
South Dakota
DC

I think she'll win DC, The Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. New Jersey allows independents to choose a D ballot, so I don't see her winning there.

Bernie Sanders knows

[div class="excerpt" style="margin-left:0; border:3px solid #000066; color:#33000; background:#F1F2F7; width:550px;"]Ask any American politician which people have the lowest average income and the chances are you’ll get a wrong answer.

Bernie Sanders knows.

Ask which ethnic group has the shortest life expectancy, the highest major disease rates, the highest incarceration rates, the fewest education opportunities or the smallest per person investment by the federal government and the response will very likely be incorrect.

Bernie Sanders will get it right. Every time.

Why does Senator Bernie Sanders know these things about Native Americans?

He knows because he cares enough to know...
