It is NOT expensive to do the things Bernie wants us to fight for. [View all]

Living wages, healthcare, SS, education, infrastructure rebuilding.... none of that is expensive. It has a cost, but there is a strong positive return on every one of those investments.

War, political engineering abroad, welfare for corporations, tax breaks, and job exporting trade agreements.... These ideas are extremely expensive and drain money out of the system at a substantial rate for those investments.

It's time for change. Bernie is the only one promising to work towards a goal that delivers profitable change. He is the only one asking for us to help him deliver it. Every other politician running this Presidential election is running for their own personal ambitions and desires. They only want us to vote for them and then for us to shut up and be grateful while they exploit us. They will not change a damn thing for the better if elected.

Bernie or bust. That's our choice. We may still bust under Bernie, but we have a fucking chance if we elect him.
