28. Because it's all Wrestling right?

Thu Mar 3, 2016, 01:29 AM

Mar 2016

Welcome to 2016 politics where the conversation is all about how to one up your opponent rather than champion the causes that matter to the people like:

Peace - not war
saving the planet from man made climate change, fracking and other horrors, clean water and air
Single Payer Healthcare
$15 Minimum Wage
Making College affordable
ending the oligarchy
Expanding Social Security
Ending the for profit criminal justice system
you know, stuff like that. One issue stuff

But I know, bringing the campaign into the gutter makes great TV. More Bread! More Circuses.

Bernie, please save us.
