Will you disavow the people that screwed my family

over through deregulation of the financial industry and Wall Street for money for themselves and party politics? Will you? You hold zero in any sort of righteous position. Are we clear?

They are more outraged by a word than deeds that have a real affect on real people. The issues in this campaign are literally life and death issues. But, it's that word oh yeah that's offensive.

Your point though is one of the reasons I am such a staunch democrat. Overall, all democrats want more economic regulation, republicans look to deregulate.

On an omnibus spending bill the bastard legislation was snuck into. Everyone except 4 people voted for the spending bill. Bernie was not voting for the CFMA. He was voting to keep the government from shutting down.

It is disingenuous to claim that the two are the same. Bernie has been an advocate for working people all of his life. Bill Clinton signed deregulation into law. I lost a great deal of my pension as a result of the financial collapse, and I will not forgive those who promoted the legislation that created the disaster that we have still not recovered from.
