21. We need to get this info before the primaries

if possible. Seems reasonable to ask, who would you select for Attorney General, or give us a list of possible people you'd select. Then we could take a close look at who these people are.

Of course, candidates could refuse to say, or give a list that includes some good people (Obama's technique), then when elected, select the corporate power players instead. So even getting prior disclosure could be gamed.

We could start asking now. Who's running in 2016? Biden? Clinton? Who would they pick for Attorney General? More of the same, I suspect, but specifics would help.

This, to me, is a good example of why I can't support most of the centrist Democratic Party politicians. Behind the facade is the same fascism, death-squads, proxy wars, control of the people to enable massive profits for the already obscenely wealthy. Not acceptable.

Latin America is making great strides at taking back power from these forces. It's a pity we aren't doing the same.

Thanks for the OP.
