Senator Bernie Sanders is a lifelong champion of working class Americans, and an eloquent defender of labor unions, living wages, expanded Social Security, protecting Medicare & Medicaid, moving towards single-payer health care for all, and choosing “prosperity” over “austerity”; and Bernie Sanders is one of the few prominent elected officials who can also clearly explain how the current neoliberal economic system leads to climate change which jeopardizes the future “sustainability” of our only planet; and Senator Sanders is one of the very few top officeholders who will stand up to the 1%, who gets it that money is not speech, and corporations are not people; and Senator Sanders knows that militarism and Empire-building are huge obstacles to building an American economy that actually works for the 99%; and Poor and working class Americans need someone in the 2016 Democratic primaries to stand up for their rights in 2015 and 2016; and The Nation magazine has pointed out, the country as a whole, Democratic primary voters, and even the potential Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign would all benefit from a serious primary challenge based on policy substance and real issues rather than trivial personality differences; and The John Roberts Court has made it crystal clear how dangerous it is to a democracy of, by, and for the people, after its disastrous decision in the Citizens United case, its attack on the Voting Rights Act, and all of its pro-corporate rulings, a 5-4 cabal just waiting to be strengthened for years to come by a chance for a new Republican President to name a replacement for elderly Justice Ruth Ginsburg; and Young people in particular need a candidate to organize alongside, as they begin their lifelong struggles against Wall Street’s greed, Empire’s decay, inequality’s destructiveness, and fossil fuels’ devastation; and We all need a “fighter” to stand up on behalf of a fair economy that works for all of us, just as Bernie Sanders has done throughout his entire career; and No one in American politics today is as independent, tough-minded, honest, and fierce in his loyalties towards working people as Senator Bernie Sanders.
