    We need more people on the left who can connect with others based on the shared experiences that come from surviving on a low income, and suffering from societal low status, over a long period of time.

    But what's the money in that? How are those people going to give the "left" politicians their millions in "campaign donations", "charitable donations", and "speaking fees"? They're not going to waste their time when there's so much money to be made by pandering to banks and corporations.

    You wouldn't want the "left" to defend the working class, right? We're not in 1950, kid.

      Bernie's campaign, funded by generally quite small contributions, reminds us They've got the guns, but We've got the numbers.

        True, but still, he didn't win. The money won again.

          Money did win, I suppose you're right about that, just not without the unwashed. If the poor weren't a rich food source, though, They wouldn't bleed us as heavily.
