2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Bernie Sanders in one word [View all]
Democracy.
It means having choice in your economic livelihood. Instead of being a pawn, it means you are a controlling member. It means having a fourth estate instead of propaganda. It means having real elections that are trustworthy.
Americans have been out of the democratic loop so long they don't even know what it means.
Does anyone seriously care about these things, or is this just another dressage competition? Ask yourself one question before you vote: what do I want my grandchildren's country to be? More of the same, or more humane? Any candidate who is going to go along with this system is going to cement a future for your children that is far from democratic.
