Their lives to social and economic justice. It's great to have these sharp candidates on our side. A poster the other day said Bernie "loafs around Washington" and in reality he's tirelessly fighting for the poorest of citizens. Daily I see attacks on Hillary pretty much saying she is underhanded greedy and dishonest and used the Clinton foundation to effectively launder money for arms sales while SOS. Choose your candidate but stop the vitriol for the respectable competition. Maybe discuss the issues without the personal attacks.

I expect better from our side. That is all.
