I am saying what should be done.
In your opinion.
Not what is easy and what is definitely going to be successful.
And that's helpful how? The Presidency is a job interview, after all, not replacing the Pope.
But the needs of working people are not being met by either party.
Clearly not true as everything the Obama administration did has turned the economy around and got it up off the ashes of 2008 in a manner that can only be described as
remarkable. But because we live in a real world--with real Republicans constantly fucking it up--not everything is all tidied up in a neat little magical pony bow.
That reality doesn't mean you dump your party. Sanders isn't even a Democrat and he hasn't dumped the party he sucker-fishes onto.
The price of education is skyrocketing.
Private education, but Congress can't do shit about that. Public education tuitions have gone up as well, but that's a
matter for the States, which, once again, Congress can't do shit about.
The only thing Congress could do is authorize Federal funding to help those in need pay for their public college. Well, hey, guess what!? We ALREADY do that and guess what happens as a result (emphasis mine):
At private nonprofit colleges, the spending categories described above — student services and faculty and administrative salaries — together explain most of the tuition increase over the past two decades. Among for-profit institutions, it is much more difficult to pin down a reason for tuition increases, though recent research suggests that one big cause is the generosity of federal student aid: Some institutions may be raising tuition in order to capture as much government-backed money as possible.
The overarching message is that there is no single cause of the tuition boom. The reason for rising costs differs based on the type of institution and the state it’s in, and even varies over time. But, at least among public institutions, the dominant factor has been a steady decrease in support for higher education on the part of state legislatures.
By why let pesky facts bother you?
Which is precisely the Democratic party.
Not post Bill Clinton.
Most definitely post Clinton.
The Democratic Party is now a corporate party.
Meaningless bumper sticker. The Democratic party supports the working class, which, once again is comprised of almost 80%-90% Corporate and Corporate-related jobs, so if you are pro-working class then you are necessarily pro-Corporations.
The problem--like ALL social problems--are those corporations that try to get away with not paying their fare share and/or are committing various crimes. Just like people do. So government needs to go after those bad corporations, just like it does with bad people.
It's the same fucking thing.
Bought and paid for by big business.
More bumper sticker nonsense. Not only did Obama famously say fuck you to Goldman Sachs (and they, in turn, backed Romney and it made no difference), the fact that businesses pay for access does not automatically mean Congresspeople are corrupt (unless we're talking about Republicans).
Many have been bought and/or certain legislation corrupted, no doubt about it. But that's always going to be true no matter who is in the WH and so long as humans are elected, so until PolticoBot180 is created by Cyberdine Industries corruption in politics--on any side of the aisle--will always exist.
But to assert an entire party is somehow "bought and paid for" is just vapid. Unless, again, we're talking about the Republicans, though they aren't actually a party; they are the sex slaves of the worst of humanity in suits, so it's never really been a question of any Republican
not being corrupt. They run in order to fulfill their corruption.
That's why we get Obamacare, not Universal Health Insurance
You're
lucky you got Obamacare. Try to stop writing bumper stickers and look at the real world you live in.
And,
once again, you're talking about the Democratic party, in particular Hillary Clinton whose policies (had they ever been implemented) would have, for example, seriously
mitigated the 2008 housing collapse if not avoided it all together and were
parroted by Bernie Sanders while pretending that using Dodd-Frank to break up the commercial banks, "shadow" banks and insurance companies was his own idea. It
never was.
Hillary is waist deep in corporate money.
Meaningless drivel. I'll assume you mean she was paid to give speeches. How otherwise intelligent people like you can't comprehend that people are paid for giving a speech is truly beyond me. Someone offers to pay you to speak, does that mean you are "waist deep in corporate money"? What does that even mean? That your vote is somehow bought?
These are vapid Republican talking points you're spewing out your ass that have no substance or
logic behind them. And the irony is, she (and her husband) made millions on speeches and books, which means they don't need to sell their vote even if they were ever in a situation where that could have happened (they never were).
Her husband helped cause the bank collapses.
As has been debunked
SO MANY FUCKING TIMES no, he did not. By the time Clinton was in office, the legislation you don't even know you're referring to was already gutted. There were many factors that caused 2008, but chief among them was the fact that the credit rating agencies (all three of them, independently of each other no less) fucked up the risk ratings of the mortgages and CDOs. Had they rated them accurately, NONE of what followed as a direct result of their bad ratings would have happened.
But, again, don't let facts stop you slapping on those bumper stickers.
When she had the responsibility to create a health care system she created a monstrosity protecting corporate profits, not universal health insurance.
No, she created, ironically, Obamacare, basically, which was the only way--politically--to get the first step toward UHI implemented.
Any idiot can promise magical ponies as Sanders has been doing for forty years.
Yes, it is magic ponies to have a universal health care system.
It is the way Sanders tried it as was poignantly shown in
in his own state.
It is magic ponies to strengthen Social Security as opposed to weaken it.
You mean like Bill Clinton did and President Gore would have continued were it not for the Republicans that raped it? You do know about these things "Republicans" right?
It is magic ponies to expect those raping the working man, making his and her life harder and harder, driving people further into debt, to stop it.
Yeah, it is, because Republicans are fucking terminators and they won't stop it except by intelligent political maneuvering, not magical ponies. The further irony being that Sanders once understood that and so conducted most of his Congressional time selling his vote in order to amend other people's bills to get what he wanted. Pitty the "Amendment King" stepped into the spotlight and lost his crown, because now he's just fucking everything up. Again.
Who do you think is buying that bullshit?
