Our candidates know how to fight. I wish Dem reps would do so more often

I like that both Clinton and Sanders know how to FIGHT. Neither are pantywaist ninnies like too many of our other Dem candidates and reps. That's how we ended up with goddamned GWB in 2001.

If they use their fighting skills against big oil, wall st., big pharma, big ag, and the MiC, we'd have a fighting chance ourselves. Otherwise - we're continually screwed and gov't, power, and wealth will remain unsustainably out of balance.

Obama's done well most of the time -- his total lack of interest in the massive damage that will be done by the TPP is EXTREMELY disappointing and his willingness to cut social security was just UNACCEPTABLE.

When Dems fight, they WIN. Problem is, I think too many of them don't know how to fight, are too lazy or corrupt (owned by corp/wall st), or are fighting the wrong people (US).
