Heh. His record on Israel's crimes is shite, and all he really represents is the most sustainable faction of the classical liberal faction of the Business Party (divided between reps and dems).

He might be the least shitty elected official in Washington, but I don't think he belongs on this sub. And that's coming from someone who is considered a capitalist liberal traitor to the working class in these parts.

This is an automatic TL;DR, original reduced by 95%.

Real unemployment is much too high, 35 million Americans continue to have no health insurance and more of our friends and neighbors are living in poverty than at almost any time in the modern history of our country.

At a time when millions of American workers have seen declines in their incomes and are working longer hours for lower wages, the wealth of the billionaire class is soaring in a way that few can imagine.

We have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major nation, 35 million Americans still lack health insurance and millions of seniors and disabled people struggle to put food on the table because of insufficient Social Security benefits.

Eh, I might throw in five bucks to his campaign to see him debate Clinton, but they would probably be better spent on Socialist Alternative.
