For me, sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t. Weird embed code.
If you can’t get it any other way, here’s the link.
Pretty interesting. Of course there is a lot of variety within the New York area, especially if you expand out into Lawnguyland & Joisey. It may be surprising that a social-democrat has garnered such widespread national support, but to me it’s almost more astounding that such a New York-sounding guy has done so.
Yes! My thought exactly…
I think people recognize Bernie Sanders as authentic and truthful. He also stays on the issues. Specifically, his data concerning Wall Street and the banks and the shift in the wealth of the middle class is accurate as shown whenever the fact checkers look at it. He’s right that consumer protections are needed and that the banks have gotten larger than at the time of the meltdown. The only reason the finance industry doesn’t want stronger regulations and a stronger SEC is that they don’t want anyone to see what they are doing. The finance industry would rather the SEC spend all their resources and time on people like Martha Stewart and letting CEOs like those from Enron get off scott free.
I don’t want to leave the major networks out; it seems they preferred to talk about Martha Stewart than the real crimes.
