We need to focus on what's in front of us and what we have the power to change. And it matters what Democrat ends up in the White House...

Hillary Clinton is not going to change a dysfunctional, corrupt economic system that is based on entitlement and the disparagement of the American workforce. We're working longer hours, for less money, with less time off while spending more for healthcare and college than any industrialized nation in the world.. And the only candidate that's talking about the radical changes necessary to change the system is Bernie Sanders.

Hillary Clinton, the current front running Democratic candidate is being funded by the very establishment that benefits from our current corrupt system and that is who she represents. That's the problem..
