1/ Imagine if we had a presidential candidate saying “Yep it’s true. We’re going to give you free healthcare. We’re going to pass a Green New Deal. We’re going to make college tuition free for everyone. We’re going to cancel all your college loans.”

2/ And when people asked “But how are we going to pay for all that?” the candidate would say “By taxing the segment of people whose tax cuts and corporate subsidies have amounted to the biggest transfer of wealth in our history over the last 40 years.”

okay, how about they allowed it to happen and are now (mostly) getting in line to back the lesser evil candidate because they don't have the courage or moral convictions to take this fight to the next level? It's easier to shame others for not affirming their cowardly choice.

The DNC rejected him before the nation could. The people have actually chosen him for many decades, and based on statewide polls, if given the fair chance, he would sweep in a national election on these policies
