By George Wilson | Everywhere we look, the middle class is squeezed by employers who shrink benefits and pay, eliminate jobs, and fear-pressure their staff to work illegally without overtime pay. The redistribution of income to the top one percent continues unabated. Student loans in the U.S. are choking our future. Medical bankruptcies darken the days of those who most need some light. Some things are very wrong in this country, and these are principally the same things that work well for our peers in Europe and Canada.
Hillary travelled some 970,000 miles as Secretary of State. She has met with every world leader, and knows the workings of our government inside and out, and probably most of the world’s governments as well. The Republicans message to return the United States to the Middle Ages must stop. Hillary will make a fine President, and will serve as a role model for woman around the world.
Bernie as the senator from a tiny state has not the experience or history to run the country. His powerful message of economic justice is singular and impressive, but I’m afraid without a Congress he will go nowhere. However, a real “political revolution” with a massive voter turnout that replaces Congress would solve this problem.
Both the right and left are dissatisfied with establishment politics and are hungry for meaningful change. Unfortunately for those on the right, their anger was co-opted by those responsible and directed toward those on the left.
Since the early 90s, the right has attacked Hillary Clinton. Our 20-somethings have grown up hearing the accusations without hearing specifics, so it was easy for them to move to Senator Sanders. They have fallen for attacks on Secretary Clinton without questioning the accusations. Finally, both are outstanding candidates and would be infinitely superior to any Republicans on the stage.
