Bernie is the only one pushing the solution to the root cause of most of our problems, corruption of our election process by campaign money. He supports Publicly Funded Elections to take away all of the outside money used to purchase our politicians. Most of the issues today that cannot get passed are ones where the Plutocrats would take a hit, like Climate Change for example. We will never seriously address Climate Change and the environment until we regain Representative Democracy. As Bernie says, most of his colleagues represent Donors instead of their constituents.
I think we need to convince all of the Hillaryites we can that she will not do what we need done! Tall order I know, but many will do it holding their nose to keep the evil Republican from winning. I think the Plutocrats use these crazies to scare us into picking their Democratic candidate, the one they give all of the money to that is usually the favorite. Voting for Bernie would probably be the the only way not to vote for someone they own already.
