Ron Paul is confusing young people, ready for change.

[dotymed]

His anti-govt. agenda (for the elite) wants us to have freedoms. They do not realize his change includes no minimum wage, no protections for "us", they are connecting with legal weed, no spying, the things we deserve.

We need a Progressive leader, POTUS challenger, to lead the real way. Of course, stop the NSA, legalize weed, etc... but we need a strong govt. We need Glass-Steagall, Union jobs, a redistribution of wealth through Progressive taxes, etc..

I know Bernie Sanders is getting old but we need his proven leadership. Warren is very promising but I would prefer if she had a longer, proven track record.
Whomever it is, WE must have a real Progressive leader.

Americans are a Progressive people, we must unite and really change our country.

1. strategy

He's playing to the strategy of selling 'independence' and 'initiative' and 'freedom', along with 'self reliance' etc.

To do this, he characterizes government as the 'enemy' that is depriving them of the above, ignoring that it is the collusion of gov/corporations that is the problem.

In the end, he gets them to reject any gov - citing it as 'hopelessly broken' - making them easy prey for the newly established system of crony capitalism gov/corporate.

People need to realize we have a vested interest in FIXING gov - which is supposed to represent the PEOPLE. It is the ONLY way we will ever be powerful enough to withstand the corporate agendas. THAT is the real enemy to freedom and independence.

3. The young people need to

No argument from me about needing a Progressive leader.
