“There is no proposal to end fracking; Medicare for all was voted down; and the platform does not support an end to new Israeli settlements in Gaza or the West Bank”. He knows that the best way to get real change is by taking over the Democratic Party and becoming the establishment, not by running doomed third-party campaigns for decades.

Appearing at a Democratic National Committee press conference, Booker said this week’s Republican nominating confab veered past the bounds of acceptable political discourse and into more destructive territory.
“I’m a supporter of Bernie’s ideas”, Molloy said.
The Democratic National Convention will be held in Philadelphia Monday, July 25-Thursday, July 28.
Every election year, candidates for president spark media and public interest. America is one of the highest-taxed nations in the world.
On the right side, conservatives are choosing to send money-maniac Donald J. Trump, former host of “The Apprentice”, into battle. Only since they’re not technically available to earn the nomination, our delegates want to write in Ronald Reagan and Bernie Sanders instead.
Just look at the signs decorating front lawns, T-shirts covering outspoken supporters, or ads plastered in newspapers and magazines. “After 30 something years of being married to my wife, we don’t agree on everything, especially politically, but at the same time, we’re a family, and when it comes time to unify for the good of the family, we do that, and I think the Democratic party will do that come November”.
A Pew Poll published earlier this month found that 85% of respondents who voted for Sanders during the primaries and caucuses say they will back Clinton in the general election, while nine percent said they’d vote for Trump. ‘*Not included: women, African Americans, LGBT people, Muslims, Latinos, immigrants…’ Clinton supported the trade agreement as secretary of state, but she changed her position as Sanders out-flanked her on the issue, appealing more to the Democratic base.
Clinton took exception, however, when Charlie Rose suggested Sanders’ impact on the race had pushed her further away from the political center.
Sanders’ supporters, often profiled as young people, blue-collar workers, or other caricatures of liberal personas, would not offer their support to Clinton until Sanders did, as well.
Clearly, voters are not looking into platforms to make their decisions. “She’s a serious candidate”. Presidents are not bound to platforms like contracts, and parties, therefore, should not be bound to writing out these seemingly useless documents.
Longtime news broadcaster Tony Russomanno is also Clinton delegate.

A recent study conducted by the Pew Research Center shows that voters already have this mindset. But if you don’t get behind Clinton, you increase the odds that Trump will be president. Ralph Nader, a progressive Green Party candidate, received 97,488 votes in Florida.
