Think about it...


Foreign intervention
More ass kissing of the 9/11 financiers
Death in Honduras
Low bar for minimum wage
Fracking
TPP
Keystone XL
No public option
College debt
Predatory lenders (Payday Loans)

If Clinton wants our votes, we better get some significant planks in the Democratic platform, starting with an end to Super Delegates and campaign finance reform (unilateral on the Democratic side if necessary.
