It is the apathy that enable sociopaths while empathy get in the way. Apath-Empath-Sociopath triangle.

Sanders has donors in all 50 states while Pete was a small town mayor. Seriously after the most qualified candidate ever stuff?

Our party is heavily female and minority. Our ticket should recognize that.

Trump will dump Pence and replace him with Nikki Haley. Watch him do that as soon as we put two white men on our ticket.

I agree we are long overdue. I have my eye on AOC for the future but at the moment I think Sanders is the best candidate. The field of what is left isn't that strong especially without Cory Booker or Kamala Harris.
