Instead (a summary of the 5 delayed orgasm points would help) here's a short and sweet message Bernie sent. More than 5 but I like it.

Quote:

People attending rallies in huge numbers are saying
YES to raising the minimum wage,
YES to expanding Social Security,
YES to guaranteeing health care as a human right,
YES to cutting the cost of prescription drugs,
YES to paid family and medical leave,
YES to equal pay for equal work,
YES to more affordable housing,
YES to making childcare and higher education affordable to all,
YES to taking on the existential threat of climate change.

And most importantly they are saying
YES to a government and an economy that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class and the Oligarchs.

His five are

1. Right to Housing
2. Labor Corps (right to work)
3. Medicare for all
4. Election Integrity - get money out of politics, overturn Citizens United.
5 . Tackle Climate Change

Honestly, if we just focused on that core, we'd be golden.

We will not focus on that core, lol. Ah well.
