It seems like large swaths of people hate how things are in this country but remain utterly clueless as to *why* their lives actually suck so much and what they could do to change things.

These should be the target group for dems. I understand it is not a closed primary, but that is a large group to vote for someone other than the incumbent.

You only have to convince the nation's one undecided voter, Martin Dixon-Pettlewaite of Lake Delton, Wisconsin.

Martin is a 61 year-old former forklift driver for the Old Milwaukee brewery. Several years back, he and his wife Mimi moved to Lake Delton, where he now runs a water taxi, ferrying tourists across the lake for one of the local waterpark resorts.

He's an old union man, but he's suspicious of government. He is, mercifully, not on Twitter.

Good luck, Bernie people!

A socialist will be defined as any politician who thinks the system should work for more people, instead of just the ultra-wealthy.
