46. Love Bernie and Elizabeth but It's up to us to make the changes.

Many progressives desperately want economic changes to make our dying system fairer and better. Nominating either of these candidates would get us closer but it would be a matter of inches (centimeters for you lovely socialists) closer when we have hundreds of miles (kilometers) to go. This is because of the U.S. Senate--our house of lords.

How do we get there? The best most reasonable idea involves the economist Richard Wolff. He suggests we democratize the workplace by making our businesses into coops. Check him out, he's really smart on most economic issues.

Anyway, Go Bernie, Go Elizabeth. Oh, and Go Biden, Go Yang, and the rest of the gang too. Our Colorado primary is in March and maybe I'll have a better idea after the first primaries.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
