New polls show that Bernie is winning on electability
A great summary of how the elite media is trying to bash Bernie Sanders on electability and before voting started the polls showed Biden leading on this question.

The Republicans never fail to disappoint when it comes to cutting vital social safety nets for the people who need it most.

Democrats will win the white house, what matters is who votes
Rachel Bitecofer is a political scientist who argues it doesn't matter who the Democratic nominee is, what matters is who comes out and votes. She is predicting that the democrat will win the white house in 2020. Her other theory is that turn out is the only thing that matters and Bernie has the largest and most effective volunteer organization amongst candidates.

Trump tax cuts grew 500 Richest People wealth by 25% this year
The 500 wealthiest People held a networth of 5.9 trillion dollars, collectively up by 1.2 trillion over this year alone. In other words the wealth of the richest grew simply because of Trump's tax policy. The rich here got richer while the middle class wages have largely stagnated for decades. This should be proof enough that trickle down economics is a hoax. It is certainly not right for tax policy to enrich people. This a a great example of Republican Socialism.

They say the rich give to charity, this post says some just pretend and hide their money
Trickle down economics is a fantasy. Here we learn that the founder of google is skipping on his charitable donations which is required by law. We learn that the Larry Page foundation finds accounting gimmicks to pretend they are giving to charity while they park their money. We need structural change to fix our economy and our society.

Trump wants to end life saving disability benefits for hundreds of thousands of citizens
First republicans cut taxes for the rich and corporations and now in search of revenue they are looking to cut social security benefits for current and future beneficiaries. This is going to result in thousands dying, as they did under Reagan when he did the same thing and then had to reverse it. We can't afford four more years of Trump.

Quit saying that Bernie Sanders can’t win, he may be the most electable Democrat running in 2020
Don't know whether Bernie Sanders should be president. But if the argument is about "electability," a case exists that Sanders is not merely electable, but may be the most electable Democrat running right now. Democrats who want to defeat Donald Trump in 2020 should not assume that Sanders is a politically risky choice — even though that is the conventional wisdom — and instead look dispassionately at the arguments for and against his supposed electability.
Ocasio-Cortez on Why She Backed Sanders Over Warren
Perhaps as important as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s decision to endorse Bernie Sanders for president is her rationale for doing so.

Trump’s E.P.A. is polluting our water supply by eliminating science
In order to boost profits for his donors and mega corporations, Trump is limiting scientific research that government uses to determine public health regulations. They use misleading language to advance their causes. These rules will effect all of our livelihood. Trump and his administration are not on our side.
Ice melting means coastlines are in danger and its happening now
Climate change translates into rising seas, stronger storms and this results into vanishing coastlines. The Iles-De-La-Madeleine island in Quebec has been warmed at twice the world average at 2.3 degrees celsius since the 19th century. What we are experiencing on this island will happen all around us. To claim that we have been warned since 1970 and dooms day has not arrived, simply demonstrates and uneducated opinion.
Some of the climate change consequences are not apparent but they are happening
Saltwater is killing off woodlands all along the mid-Atlantic coast, sometimes surprisingly far from the sea. This is all a consequence of melting ice and rising sea waters.

This report here is talking about areas on NY, NJ, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, close to home!

Man is not equipped to deal with the rapid changes in climate change
Rapid and massive flooding of urban areas will only get worse with Climate Change. Houston is a prime example. The passed new building codes and budgeted billions for flood control in 2017. Tropical storm Imelda which hit 2 weeks ago shows that their efforts have not helped much. Houston has experienced one 500 year flood and 2 one hundred year flood since 2016. The cost of inaction or slow action will be much more. We need structural change.
Corporate ownership of Media is hurting our democracy
Trump’s rollback of regulations means more people will die
We elect our representatives to protect us from harm and not work in the interest of fossil fuel industry and other big businesses.. Trump and his administration have rolled back, or are in the process of rolling back more than 80 environmental rules often without notifying the public. These role back could lead to thousands of extra deaths from poor air quality. #VoteBlue

There is hard data that shows that a centrist Democrat would be a losing candidate
The democratic establishment is ignoring the data and claims that a centrist candidate has the best chance of winning. The fact is that Trump is an extremist and the reason he won is because people are not happy with the status quo. Bernie has the right plans and the enthusiasm necessary to win this fight for democracy.

Democratic Socialism works – Equality leads to happiness and stability in society
In a healthy society, people feel like they have a fair chance at success, while they are protected from the worse life can deliver.

If people voted their interest in this country we would get structural change in this country.
Delaware chief justice Leo Strine says Bernie Sanders is not radical
When people talk Bernie Sanders as if he's a communist, they show a profound ignorance" of the market and of history, Strine said. He added that while he doesn't agree with all of Sanders' proposals, they're not actually radical from a historical or global perspective. Per Strine, Sanders is actually a centrist by the standards of some of our closest and most prosperous European allies.

Extreme Republican ideology doesn’t believe in compassion and altruism
Koch Brothers, tea party republicans have been promoting a narrow ideology that was the cause of the great depression and is based on greed and narcissism. They believe that everyone is driven by self interest and don't believe in human compassion. They believe that only the rich need protection for their property. Is this a world we want to live in? We have seen this movie in history before. This is another from of totalitarianism.
Under Trump the deficit has doubled – He doesn’t know how to manage the economy
We need to make sure people we elect understand how government and economy works. We learn from this article that Trump wants to reduce the deficit, without touching programs like medicare, or cutting military spending, while he wants to build infrastructure. Republicans are conflicted because their rhetoric doesn't meet reality.

US had a strong middle class when the wealthy and corporation were taxed fairly, The GOP plan crushes the middle class
The American Middle class was created by FDR post world war II by giving power to the workers and income tax rates of 70% or more on wealthy individuals and high taxes on corporate profits. Despite this policy median income doubled in the 3 decades after world war II. Protecting the middle class works for the economy and the country.
Kansas tried Trump style tax cuts – They failed
If we don't learn from history we are doomed to repeat it. Prior to Trump's tax cuts, the Republican governor Sam Brownback, with the help of the go-to guru of "Supply Side economics" since the Reagan era, Arthur Laffer introduced huge tax cuts to boost the economy. Today the state is out of money and residents are angry.
History tells us all about Trump and his style of leadership
If we don't learn from history we are doomed to repeat it. The rise of populist around the world is not new. Every time life gets tough, populist strong men take advantage of people's vulnerabilities for their own short sighted gains! People with extreme views need to be reminded of the consequence of their beliefs. This post was written before Trump was elected and much of it is proven true by this point of Trump's presidency
How Bernie Gets Things Done in Congress Without Being Bought Off

Bernie Sanders is a progressive who likes to get things done and his record of legislative accomplishments in the House of Representatives and the Senate shows it.

We have evidence that taxing the rich will grow the economy – Minnesota is our proof
Republicans suggest that taxing the rich, or increasing workers wages kills jobs and makes businesses leave the state. Minnesota governor Mark Dayton inherited a 6.2 billion dollar budget deficit and a 7% unemployment when he entered office in 2011 from his predecessor, Tim Pawlenty the Republican. He raised taxes on hi-income earners and raised minimum wage. By 2013 the economy was the 5th fasted growing economy, the ninth best state to do business with and more people entered the top tax rate and as of 2015 Minnesota has a 1 billion dollar budget surplus.
