This is from an email I got from Bernie a while back, regarding the anti-oligarchy tour.
To states that the "Couch Patriot" party leaders dare not go.
IT IS NOT a complete platform, just issues that hit hardest and which resonate with millions of people.

People attending rallies in huge numbers are saying
YES to raising the minimum wage,
YES to expanding Social Security,
YES to guaranteeing health care as a human right,
YES to cutting the cost of prescription drugs,
YES to paid family and medical leave,
YES to equal pay for equal work,
YES to more affordable housing,
YES to making childcare and higher education affordable to all,
YES to taking on the existential threat of climate change.

And most importantly they are saying
YES to a government and an economy that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class and the Oligarchs.

Why this is not shared 24 by 7 by 365 to give hope while the GOP gives only fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) is a major party failure.

A fine rant is here if you like.

It contains links to some even more explosive rants against our complacent leadership.
