    I believe there should be a change in how we elect our presidents and other government officials. We should not have to work two or three jobs just to pay the bills.

    What is everyones thoughts about this??

    Even if he's not the nominee, i believe he has caused a lot of Americans to wake up and be more involved in who we elect.

    Look at whats going on with the folks protesting in the capital. Folks are tired of big money buying politicians.

    What do you guys think?

    He left Brooklyn at 18 and is currently a senator in Vermont.


    I think despite everything the American people are choosing more of the exact same. I'm at the point where I'm completely giving up on this country. They want this country to die, they want war, they want a broken education system, they want mountains of student debt, they want the too big to fail banks to send the world back to the dark ages.

    They voted Clinton so clearly they hate America as much as I do at this point.

    I think Bill Maher put it best....

    " i love America but i hate Americans."

    I served in the military and i was lucky enough to visit a number of countries. Here we have it made and we are letting these greedy bastards ruin it for us. That is why im with Bernie and agree with what he is doing. I hope that even if he looses this movement doesnt stop. We have to be more involved in our political system. I never really cared until now. For the past two years ive been seeing how we truly are screwed and mentally fucked in this country.

    I just don't understand why anyone voted for Clinton. I don't get how she's getting vote at all. When you actually examine her as a candidate, it's obvious that she's just another weasle politican who won't do a single thing for the american people. She doesn't care about us, she cares about her donors.

    i think one of the reasons people are voting for her Is bc shes a woman. Now im definitely not opposed to having a woman president but not her. Like you said, shes just another bought politician.

    Oh well. I was just reading an article about how the banks aren't doing so well right now. The banks need to be broken up yesterday, and without Sanders there is no hope for that, so honestly I don't care who wins anymore because the U.S is probably gonna have another economic crash at some point regardless of who gets in.

    If there's one thing I feel for the US, it's pity. I'd be happy for all underprivileged US citizens if Bernie could bring this home. Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen.

    Yeah...I'm guessing it's pretty much over for Sanders now. *sighs*

    I feel worse for Europe though because our refusal to hold Wall Street accountable is gonna wreck the world economy and send everyone back to the dark ages.

    I hope that even if he doesnt pull it off, people wake up and go vote. I hope this movement keeps on growing!!

    The US is pretty much the most short sighted country I have ever seen. Bernie has a long gaze and that's why I like him. It's also why he won't win.

    Hard to say, but we all know she's too rich and powerful to be held accountable for her crimes. The FBI investigation is just meaningless fluff, it won't amount to anything because she's got too much power and influence.

    This is honestly my last hope. I feel like Hilary has way too much going against her an will get killed if she runs against Trump. She's just such a cookie cutter politician and I feel like she's borderline unelectable.

    She won't be running against Trump. The Republicans are already setting the stage for a contested convention and from the looks of things they're gonna give the nomination to Paul Ryan ( who didn't even run in the primary )

    I don't know who that is but he sounds better than Trump or Hilary, so at least that's something. Or maybe not. That's a completely baseless assumption. Imma look him up right now.

    I can live with a standard politician I guess. Honestly this entire election has been such a clown car I don't even care at this point.
