(12,655 posts)wealth and income inequality have become obscene. People working 60 to 70 hours a week just to survive. The TPP is going to make that even worse. Even though the ACA is in effect, a lot of people aren't getting the benefit of it because they're in states with Republican asshole governors who don't want to accept the medicare funding.The environment is going to sh*t and the problems associated with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer are growing every day.
Bernie speak to that. He represents the people. Hillary is a corporate centrist and represents the interests of the 1%. People are going to figure that out in a big big way.
and many progressives don't want the "Obama legacy" to continue. The legacy of what, more crappy trade deals to lower the standard of living in this country, more drone action killing people in foreign countries, more degradation of our rights,and rolling over for the Republicans every time they pull one of their stunts. Obama has been a nearly complete disappointment to me. And to a lot of others. And Bernie is tapping into that rage. Hillary is not.
