(84,711 posts)We just elected one twice...who promised to do much of what you are talking about.
They can promise and give nice speeches, but where is there a Democrat that we could be assured would follow through on their promises. A Democrat who could run with a enough of a track record that could be scrutinized for clues that they would, live up to what they promise.
Dennis Kucinich (age and experience) is someone I would trust...but, there's no way he could be elected. And, if by some miracle he was elected by the people, I doubt that the Military, Industrial, Media Complex would allow him to Govern. The Clintons and Obama with their charismatic personalities and strong backing from MIC/Wall Street have pretty much sucked the air out of the space for anyone new to get traction. Any Dem Candidate without charisma wouldn't have a chance of inspiring Dems to get out to vote in the way they did for Obama.
Besides Hillary...who? And, I'm with you. I could not vote for her.
