Anyone that believes politicians who take money from corporations will work

hard for regular people are incredibly naive, willfully ignorant or low information voters.

We will remain in a consistent bursting and growing bubble economy until we radically change the system.

Incremental change won't do shit when we're hit with the upcoming economic collapse, it's not a matter of if it's when.

Climate change isn't going to wait on incremental change, but fuck it. Who cares about human eradication, right?

The planet's temperature will rise to 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. More than likely a hell of a lot sooner.

It's radical change or death those are our choices. My money is on this country choosing death.

Hillary isn't bad on these issues but she won't go nearly as far as this planet needs.

The GOP wants death.

"Hillary isn't bad on these issues but she won't go nearly as far as this planet needs." So, how can she take more money than even GOP candidates and be not bad given your OP?

she wants incremental progress on that issue, which does little to stop climate change from continuing or at least to attempt to reverse course.

I had paper route and there was a customer who always gave my $5.00 for the 1.50 cost/week. That person got much better service than guy next door who gave me 1.50/week.
