In reply to the discussion: With the FBI Investigating Clinton's Emails, Bernie Sanders Should Be the Democratic Frontrunner [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)Right now, people are unhappy with the status quo.
Listen to Bernie's speeches and notice on what lines he gets the biggest applause. Then you will know why people are flocking to support Bernie in spite of his lack of support from sitting members of Congress.
People are very unhappy about the fact that our current political "leaders" have done nothing about the Citizens United decision, nothing about the killing of Black kids by police, about student loans and the cost of post-secondary education, about low wages (declining wages, no less), about the lack of appropriate full-time jobs for people, about the lack of paid family leave for new parents, about the disparity in wealth, about less pay for women. . . .
Just listen to his speeches. The people cheer at what he says and you can tell why he is gaining momentum from the lines that draw cheers.
Where are Hillary Clinton's speeches, interviews, etc.?
Why aren't Hillary supporters posting them on DU? I want to know what her supporters are cheering about.
It's kind of a shame that Hillary supporters attack Bernie supporters but don't seem to do a very good job representing what their candidate really stands for.
This is a primary. Where is Hillary? I know she is giving speeches. But what is she saying?
