Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

(1,674 posts)I do remember the cold war . Socialism did go extreme into communism, and all that remains is the suppression of Russia, China and N Korea. The Socialist countries have found the common good/ democratic mix that is the envy of the world. I assure you the US has fallen in the eyes of the world, now in the grips of vulture capitalism, ugly and in decay. We are a young country going thru puberty, making big mistakes that effect world peace and like Bernie, who experimented with followings like all young men do, we move on, beliefs changing, but a mixture of ones experiences.
It is not a risk to follow Bernie's policies, as they have been proven to work in many other countries.
If we open our eyes, you will see that capitalism, taken to the extreme has huge give-aways, free stuff, only to the 1%, corporations, and banks. They dont pay taxes, laws are made to ease their burdens and obstacles, and they sit around the table playing war games with our kids, our wealth and our dark side.
This is my objection to both Clintons
