Yikes! A liberal Democrat is running for president. Calls for Medicare for all, a new WPA, massive

[woo me with science]

93. What a start it would be, even with a recalcitrant Congress.

Imagine having someone to veto indefinite detention...

choose someone other than banksters for Chief of Staff and other appointments
pressure for criminal prosecutions of bankers instead of for settlements
oppose ACTA and the internet ID
oppose surveillance drones over New York
oppose murderous drones everywhere
be "evolved" on marriage equality
have our military in fewer, rather than more, countries
oppose TSA groping and other Homeland Security excesses
speak out against brutalizing peaceful protesters
refrain from going to court to fight for warrantless GPS surveillance of Americans
stand up against the corporatization of our schools

...and perhaps to give soaring speeches about protecting our civil liberties, curtailing the MIC instead of expanding it, and protecting SS and Medicare instead of using them as bargaining chips to implement an austerity budget.

This is how change happens. Look at what merely having OWS out there to change the conversation has already accomplished in our political discourse; we are finally talking about the one percent. Imagine what could be accomplished with a President who consistently stood up for these things and was a vocal leader for change. Let's refrain from sending the defeatist message that it can't possibly happen.
