1. Yep, but tens of millions of voting Americans hate black people more than they like eating

they hate gay people more than they like being warm at night


etc

2. Repuglicans need someone to hate.

Without that, they can't survive.

3. WOW.

Bernie sounds like an Old Tyme DEMOCRAT.
The kind I listened to as a child, and the reason I joined the Democratic Party 47 years ago.

You don't hear that kind of talk from Democrats anymore.
(except Warren)

I want a party that will STAND UP for Working Americans."

4. Long-time Democrat

It all seems so obvious to me, but the "Democrats" I see on this site are mostly quibbling about small matters, their own individual issues. And a lot of them are just plain silly.

7. And FDR was a real Democrat, like JFK, LBJ, M. CUOMO, now Warren, Sanders, et al.

I remember Wellstone, what a loss. Saw Ted Kennedy Sr. and Jr. and Tony Coelho speak at a WH conference on disability in DC, amazing. Must keep the genuine Dems. going somehow.

5. Sanders & Warren are the best we have now, I hope people esp. younger are listening & learning.

The US middle class was the largest the world has ever seen. Many brave people and leaders sacrificed, worked and fought for the rights of workers and families like the 40 hour work week, free weekends, minimum wage laws, the right to organize collectively (unions), child labor laws, vacation and sick leave, workmen's compensation for injuries and accidents, unemployment insurance and a good life.

Much of this was finally obtained through the efforts of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, US Labor Secretary Frances Perkins and others.

For the first time the US is not the leader in the middle class, Canada is No. 1 now and the US is No. 2. We have to unite to stop further erosion of what we have; listen and take action please.
