Excellent response about letting Californians and others in the final primary states vote.

New York and Alabama and Ohio should not be the only states with the right to vote in the Democratic Primary.

Winning is important, but democracy is not just about winning and losing. It is also about new ideas and new leaders being heard.

Bernie's press conference on climate change is a must see.

And at the end he speaks to the issue of the super delegates.

So everyone should watch this.

Yes. We need a carbon tax. Yes. We need public investment in energy saving devices and above all energy saving changes to homes, especially in the homes in which poor people live. Insulation, better warming and cooling equipment, energy saving washers and driers and refrigerators, all these things help to lower energy costs and save our environment. But it is the working poor who cannot afford to update their homes or buy the latest energy-sarin cars. And thus, there is, unless we make public investment in this area, a link between the growing poverty in our country, and our inability to deal with climate change.

It's great if the Waltons and the Romneys of this world can invest in insulating their attics and don't maybe even know that their attics are insulated. But we need to make it affordable and possible for people who earn minimum wage to live in housing that is environmentally friendly.

Yes. We need clean water. And Bernie is addressing that.

Gorging ourselves on privatization and feeding the trough of the big banks and Wall Street without saving for the tables of ordinary Americans will lead to national disaster.

I do not see Hillary Clinton having the ability or vision to deal with these issues in the sure-handed way that Bernie Sanders is dealing with them.

It was a good presser but Bernie missed a vital opportunity to speak in "Californiaese" about the specific threats of fracking to our state before Tuesday. Bernie is the only candidate of either party who categorically opposes fracking. A Bernie Administration would fight tooth and nail to protect the people of Ca against offshore fracking poisoning our treasured ocean, increasing our earthquakes,
and rendering toxic Californians' drinking water and air.

I'm watching this as I see the entire state in a state of emergency... Yes, this means the Federal response, Texas.
