  • I would vote for Bernie in a heartbeat.

    He seems to always be on the right side of history, he understands the root causes of our national crises, and he has solutions.

    Problem: Two-party system, voter apathy.

    Solution: Ranked choice voting, remove electoral college (popular vote interstate compact).

    Problem: Bought elections.

    Solution: Repeal Citizens United.

    Problem: Federal deficit spending.

    Solution: Reform government contracts with private corpos so we’re not getting gouged. Repurpose military budget. Tax the rich.

    Problem: Ignorant and misinformed voting population.

    Solution: More school funding, pay teachers more.

    Problem: All surplus value is siphoned away from the working class.

    Solution: Tax incentives for employee-owned companies. More support for unions.

    Problem: Consumer price gouging.

    Solution: Break up monopolies, punish anti-competitive behavior.

    Problem: Irresponsible banking.

    Solution: Un-repeal Glass-Steagall.

    Problem: Expensive healthcare.

    Solution: Universal healthcare. Don’t even try to tell me we can’t afford it.
