16. The solution is simple. Talk about ISSUES. Not one of those Corporate Bought Tools

people got to see last night WANTS to talk about issues, other than the usual fare they serve to their base but actually care nothing about.

But the American people do. And the American people overwhelmingly support Progressive policies.

Your last paragraph lost me since the whole reason WHY we have such a trainwreck of a government IS 'money from the Oligarchs'. Not one of those you saw last night would come close to being elected to anything, were it NOT for the Corporate Billions poured into buying elections.

For me and for an increasing number of voters, the most important issue of this campaign is to GET THE MONEY out of our electoral system.

I see only candidate who is tackling this horror which has so undermined our government for so long, and THAT is who I am supporting.

I will no longer look the other way from the most corrupting element that has overtaken our government and will work with the millions of other Americans to remove that poison from our system, and will not be quiet about it no matter how inconvenient it may be to demand that at least OUR party refuse to participate in this fraud for one more election.
