You are clueless as far as actual policies supported by actual Americans. Policy wise, there is pretty much a super majority of Americans that support actual progressive policies
If that was the case then maybe they should get off their asses and vote then huh?
As soon as there's a candidate that actually represents them... Imagine if the 2 candidates were Trump and Romney, both running as Republicans... Would libs be crying that everyone needs to vote Republican or the Republicans will win? Replace Republican with conservative in that last sentence, and maybe it will clear up why progressives don't bother voting... There is no one to vote for
(I'm voting for Kamala, so should everyone)
You really do have the solution for everything maybe you should run for office
Don't be mad at me that he either sucks or progressives can't be assed to go vote.
Im just pointing out your suggestion is laughable because he can't even win his primary as an incumbent.
Yes because Israel lobby spent the most money in history for any primary seat of congress. One district rep for congress is a little different than the whole country, but yes, money needs to be taken out of politics.
In other news the capital of Israel is about to get bombed by Iran, which is too bad I guess
Except he was down like 17 before that money even came in.
Try again.
Make more excuses.
I agree with you, money in politics has no influence over our politicians. If someone gave me 100 million dollars I wouldn’t feel obligated to give them taxpayer money or weapons. Lobbyists are just good people trying to make an honest living.
I totally agree with you
Not even close to the point but OK. Whatever makes you feel better.
That’s very kind of you to say brother
There's a huge trust gap in implementation. That's why Donald Trump threaten a national victory via votes from dying Boomers convinced he's going to unleash fantasy free health care technology while Bernie Sanders can't squeak through a primary on the promise of increasing Medicaid enrollments.
People may want the same things, but they are deeply cynical in who they trust to deliver those policies.
Health care is a fantasy in the United States don’t get sick here it would be cheaper to fly to a hotel in Paris if you are sick I suppose
