Thanks, and Bernice Sanders must be the leftest MP in Democrats

@Noor92 Yes and Biden is left of center.

@dan325 He is, as was Clinton and Obama. This is why they got elected. It may change this time. We will see. I am a social/democracy person myself. I just don't know if the country is there yet. Maybe after we baby boomers pass we will get there. I hope it doesn't take that long.

@Sticks48 Anyone that says Billionaires are "Good Guys" is Not a Left of Center anything..Clinton is a Neo-Liberal..Obama tried to remain Centrist, but failed badly.

@Charlene He really didn't fail. If he had not gotten the ACA passed we might have gone decades without change, now they have to deal with it. McConnell derailed Obama. He wouldn't even bring things to the floor he was for because he didn't want Obama to get credit. There are good billionaires just not enough of them. Just like all poor people aren't good or bad either.

@Sticks48 the 1% are sucking the life out the country, adding to the National debt, tax cuts that drain our reserves which helps in deterioration of national infrastructure, cuts to education and research that hinders our technological advancement...so No Billionaires Are Not Nice People..

@dan325 But it does work. In the late sixties we thought the same thing. Then people got jobs, and wives, and kids, and mortgages. A lot of liberals head toward the center when they start making money. Like you I am hopeful the younger people will turn the tide, but they ain't in charge yet. The Boomers are.Time will tell. Clinton had to deal with Gingrich and DeLay. What exactly did Clinton do that bothers you so much?

@dan325 He knew a global economy was the best way to stop wars. You don't blow up people with which you are economically interdependent. If you don't get with the program, you get left out and your economy will suffer much worse down the road. Deregulation is almost always bad, but is often used in the deal making process, and that proved to be a mistake. Trade deals like NAFTA were good. NAFTA slowed down the number of people coming in from Mexico because it created jobs in Mexico. If you want to slow down the corporations moving offices and manufacturing overseas, you do that with taxes. That is on the Congress, not the President. When the House, which controls the purse strings is in the hands of the Republicans, they will always do their best to force deals that cut into social programs. Give me the name of a President you have liked in our lifetime.

@dan325 ...and have our trading partners calling on China. If you want influence with countries in parts of the world where we probably have no business as far as they are concerned you might have to give up something. Of course I know it is not that simplistic.

I always wonder if there is such a thing as a fiscal conservative. What does that mean when our defense dept has carte Blanche to spend anything it wants to and not account for any if it?

@Anonbene I agree as far as the politicians go, but there are those in the party itself. They really don't pay attention how much of our national debt is due to their own party.

Is it related to the question?
BTW I am internationalist I don't believe in country, it is just boundary limitation made by human, limiting myself to specific boundary makes me fanatics and racist that I don't want to be, I see myself part of this beautiful Earth, a tiny ball in vast universe.

@Noor92 It's related to the question because you're asking about American politics, but you say you're not from nor in America. I'm just wondering why you're asking.

I concur; it's good to be an internationalist/globalist. I'm just wondering what the politics are like in your neck of the woods?

@Robecology Why do I ask question?!
Seriously?
I mean I shouldn't?
You should be happy that someone shows interest and ask questions and wants to learn, Idon't know why it bothers you, it is a socialists group and here I posted questions not only about America but also about other countries like European countries as well, we can't say oh u r not from there and u can't talk about it either...if it is this way then why does Fox news sometimes talk about Afghanistan?
Take it easy and breath, the world is not going to end

thats because the oklahoma democrats are a younger group.

@JeffMesser I agree the majority of Bernie supporters were twenty and Thirty somethings. However they were also a lot of us old lefties who helped organize and worked for Bernie.
