In reply to the discussion: Hillary has spent most of her political career denying she's a liberal [View all]DhhD
(4,695 posts)Who are they that are party to the detracting of that equality? They are the enemy of the perfect union. Role of government is to perfect the state of each individual at the expense of all governed. To me, that is Liberalism. Conservatives work against a perfect union to derive all benefits for themselves leaving others in the dust; or in the ground after a fascist war for profits. Sanders wants to return to a government based on liberalism. IMO, it is time for Sanders to campaign on the removal of fascists in Congress. To start with, that is anyone who voted to take down the tax code for millionaires, billionaire and corporations during the first GW Bush term.
There is plenty of money in this rich country to reestablish equality. Free and equal education to include college, is the best way to begin, after the tax code returns to sanity. Senator Warren says that the Congress should greatly reduce student loan debt.
I hope Sander's campaigns more on the supportive importance of the down ticket, as a new 50 state strategy. If Sander's does not become President, I hope Senator Warren announces her candidacy for President in 2017 and starts campaigning in 2017, no matter who is siting in the Oval Office. Many of us here on DU believe that Warren started campaigning soon after being elected to the Senate.
