2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forum"How Bernie Sanders has built a multi-racial anti-austerity campaign"

Sen. Sander's financial plan, which is designed to put money into circulation, creating more commerce and improving the infrastructure and requiring the very rich to pay a large share of taxes than they now pay.

keep harping on Bernie Sanders. Krugman has really disappointed me this election cycle.
