5. Getting more than 3 people to run for president is the problem. Tough to get funding in privately

funded campaigns when you run on not being influenced by campaign money. That is the root of our problem.

We need publicly financed campaign only.

Anyways, I didn't agree with the article. It said the only reason we weren't for Bernie was he's not a woman. And that to me is categorically wrong. I want any one of any gender of any race to just be an effective leader who is strong in convictions for getting big corporations out of our govt, and having "we the People" mean something again. But someone not calling themselves a socialist.
