(9,126 posts)I know a lot of people who are struggling. They need help. Sanders as president won't change everything. Citizens standing up together and demanding changes will. We have a cultural problem where we have been taught since 30 years of Reaganomics, that we can ignore the poor, ignore the lower classes, ignore people of color, ignore communities that look like wastelands. We've been taught to worship the rich and serve corporations. We let them start wars for profit and steal our treasury for their own ends.
Only if we stand up together and reimagine a country that prizes people over profits will we get anywhere. We need universal healthcare, education and jobs. We need equality for all races and all genders. We need to say that people living in poverty and hungry and sick is not ok. There is a callousness in our country that needs to change.
