6. That is why voters in USA are so frustrating

Warren has called out companies by name in the past but she had one minute to give her opening remarks, to dismiss her for that is very sad, it tells all of us that these groups are either fanatics or that they are basing their decisions on sound bytes.

By the way, I think both Sanders and Warren were the best yesterday, I like both, but I don't like that people don't seem to look at the big picture and instead are making decisions on their expectancy instead of going to Warren's website to find out if she is calling companies by name, and what else she is doing.

My take is that both Sanders and Warren are on similar pages, and what I like about them is that they will not mince words when calling out the creature.

And by the way, Sanders needs to shake off the "Socialist" level that he allowed to be tagged with, why? Because the majority of Americans don't have the faintest idea of what Socialism is, the republicans have made it into a bad word and in reality, that is not what Sanders stands for, he is more of a Democratic-Socialist and unless he shakes off that label he will give republicans a lot of ammunition and the masses will not be able to understand, they will panic.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
