Remember the lesson we learned from the Obama presidency

If you compromise your goals before fighting for them, you end up getting nothing.

Bernie wants to do a lot of things to help the middle class, and we know they all walnut be done immediately.

BUT

With Hillary, what she proposes is the best it's gonna be
.. And we already know she won't get everything she wants either.

So which is better to shoot for? Bernie goals and maybe have to work in the future on a few, but very a lot... Or shoot for little and get less?

We might as well fight for true progressive policies if for no other reason then to make them answer for their lies.
You get nothing by trying to make a hungry bear like you.
