Just thinking about all those "qualified" people who gave us the war in Viet Nam, the War in Iraq, 20 years too long (of failing) in Afghanistan, didn't care - or didn't have the spine - to give Americans what the citizens of every other advanced democracy have: universal health care, free college, paid maternity/paternity leave, free child care and a guaranteed livable wage. I mean, they've done such a bang up job and all. Over the last 48 years, $50 trillion has been transferred from the bottom 90 percent of Americans to the top one percent. The idea that only those whose careers have been entrenched in a system that drove us into that ditch should possibly be considered "qualified" to lead us out of it is preposterous. We don't need to respect such a system; we need to disrupt it.

Another "either/or" false dichotomy. Do the country a favor and stay out of public policy. Write another self-help book.

Sit this one out, you toxic loon and stop sponging off the party you despise. You selfish clowns couldn't give two shits about anyone or anything other than your bullshit "revolution." GFY. newsweek.com/bernie-sanders-…

"Universal," "free," and "guaranteed" has been tried. In the end, the "privileged" get to choose who will be "free" and that is "guaranteed."
