So we don't really know much about our candidate? I've got a small list of actual issues to start with. Want to compare?

Opposes Citizens United and proves it by not taking outsider money

Doesn't give speeches to Wall Street for hundreds of thousands of dollars each

Voted against Iraq War, as it would lead to instability in the region, ie the rise of ISIS. And he was right.

1% and corporations pay their fair share

Marriage equality from the beginning

For Glass Steagall

Opposed NAFTA

Opposed the TPP (from the start)

Sincere about the environment; opposed Keystone from the start and is against fracking

Sincere about income inequality

Supports healthcare coverage for everyone, expanding upon the ACA

Supports free college for all, as an educated society benefits all
