Why I'm so cynical of the Hillary campaign...

21. I'd support a Barbara Lee / Bernie Sanders ticket

with total enthusiasm.

I voted for President Obama twice and still support him both here and offline. I feel he took over during great economic crisis and did all he could to prevent that crisis from worsening.

Now I feel our country must build on the recovery in a whole variety of ways. Toward peace and prosperity for all, not just the few. Universal health care, free day care, raising wages, eliminating tax loopholes for the ultra rich, strengthening regulation of Wall Street, free tuition for community colleges, reducing military spending.

Going further left is our best chance to give working people a fair shake. We need this in Congress too. Right now I feel the best opportunity for that is at local levels. And a strong primary field, with people to the left of Hillary Clinton expressing the less corporate side of things.

I understand exactly where you're coming from MellowDem. I do hope Clinton's team also hears what we are saying. I think they've gotten off to a good start in terms of listening and in terms of expressing that there's a lot we can do to make things better for working people. I happen to believe policies like those advocated by Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Barbara Lee are more in line with where I feel our country should be heading.
