I think Sanders's campaign is forcing Hillary to SOUND as if she's moved left, but I also know she's not sincere. I expect nothing to change within the party if she gets the nom. Queen of Corporate Welfare all the way.

the establishment... i'd love to honest hear an answer from an establishment dem... and not on some artificial separation of concerns between social and economic. it seems clear to me that if all people get equally subjugated by the financial elite that establishment dems are cool with it

we NEED to have this conversation.

It is uncomfortable for some, who are used to the Dems being "Republican Lite", but we need to, at very least, make our voices heard.

We need to make sure that our leaders don't think that they work only for large corporations rather than the people.

Sadly, far too many of them behave as if they are wholly owned by corporate interests, which are not the interests of human people at all.

We already owe Bernie Sanders a big debt of gratitude for moving the conversation in the right direction, and he needs to continue to make his case.

And, then when we have a nominee, we all need to unite behind whoever that may be.

An actual fiscal conservative would be for cutting corporate welfare and would not cozy up to Wall Street.
