One thought on “Grassroots: Sanders, free tuition, and the misplaced argument”

  1. I am sick and tired of the rightward movement in US politics and policies. The conservative/right wing/libertarian policies have been a disaster for this country. Deregulation, trickle down and laissez-faire capitalism brought on the great recession of 2008. It's 2016 and we still don't have IMPROVED Medicare for all or single payer? Really? Why do we always have to cave into the regressive/libertarian right wing filth philosophy? Why the hell can't we have a fire breathing progressive on the supreme court? God knows, we've had enough far right wing radical and pro-corporate justices on the supreme court. The GOP has morphed into a radical hyper right wing nut job party. The Democrats have been shoved over to the right and most Democrats are pro corporate shills but not as batsheet crazy as the GOP.Bernie Sanders may not win but he has made a good run and brought up issues that the GOP and corporate Democrats avoid at all costs. We are stuck with 2 corporate controlled parties and the stupid electoral college which should be sent to hell.
