    Spiraling in every direction but the correct one, I see. We’re all mad, but I feel like what we want most of all is for things to make fucking sense, and to have a government that serves our interests instead of corporate. They’re still focused on the culture war instead of the class. If we win the class war the culture war will evaporate.

      if he stakes out fIrmly articulated progressive positions then I might get slightly interested. until then, he’s just another billionaire that should not exist, rhetoric be damned. gonna take a whole lot to shake the triangulating politico smell.

      we dont need a hero. we need a movement directing a leader.

      edit: anyone able to give some constituancy specific info?
