That can't be true or else there would be near 100% voting participation.

Lol...I guess it's a good thing we have a Congress then. Checks and balances.

If Sanders is government owned that is O.K. by me since I (and you) own the government.
Good Point

The irony fails him where the ones he supports probably supports American companies moving to Communist China.

The Chinese Communist Government uprooted 250 million people from their lands and sent them to work in the cities.

Big Business moved to China and lapped up that surplus Commie Labor.
The only problem is eventually they run out of other peoples money to keep it going which is the American Consumer.

Hillary is like a vulture that died years ago yet still rattles about looking for carrion to feast on as though nothing happened.

Sanders is still a rich prick with lots of rich prick friends, and I don't see Vermont as a shining model of success for the rest of America to emulate. Not surprisingly it has brutal taxes and a bloated state government.

Do you know that Bernie Sanders is the Senator from Vermont, not the Governor?

I will be attending many of Senator Sanders campaign events here in New Hampshire. I like most of his anti monopoly policies. I may also attend Mrs. Clinton's events and see if she ignores my questions as she did the last time. I will also attend Mr. Jim Webb's events if he decides to run.

I now have the time to actively take part in politics. It is very entertaining.

Not gonna happen. Bernie doesn't have enough donors.

Great man. Great Senator. Never will happen. Our President is always owned by Corporate America.
