(5,815 posts)That's got to sting. One candidate promoting policies, one candidate throwing out a bunch of nonsense bland speak.

(47,803 posts)you have to WANT to fix them.
Sanders is publicly mentioning thing sthat have been blatantly ignored by empty politicians like Clinton for years.
People have long sensed what Sanders is saying, about the wrong turn our government, politics and economy have taken and their impact on society. And he is resonating because finally a politician has the nerve to actually state the uncomfortable truths.
Sanders also has solutions, and if elected he would also bring in experts in those fields, as he did in Burlington when he was mayor.....and was eventually named one of America's Best Mayors.
Clinton doesn't want to fix problems. At least not those that affect the balance of Wealth and Power. Her only selling point is a do-er. Which is totally empty if it is not attached to a true value system.
