There is no clear choice for Democratic candidate right now.

And that's a problem.

Hillary is the obvious candidate, she was so close last time, like within less than 50 electoral votes! Ooops I guess it was closer to 75, so she would probably have to pull a few tricks out of her ass! :)

Her health is too fragile to run and she’s a felon.

Too old, too much baggage, not trustworthy.

Hillary is history. The on-going obcession with Hillary is used to deflect away from the serious shortcomings of the POTUS.
Serious , really George , look at those labor stats again . If those are short comings Americans are in for a treat when he starts to get a handle on things .

The Democrats need to choose a leader who will challenge the Supreme Courts' Citizens United and pursue public financed elections, and to get rid of superdelegates and agree to increase the size of the Supreme court from 9 to 15 in order to out vote the Conservative Right.

How will they challenge the Supreme Court? Increase the size from 9 to 15 and appoint all liberal activist judges you say?

Politics are cyclical... what is to stop the GOP from increasing the count from 15 to 21 when they once again take control?

Hi! EagleSmack

I think that the public will not stand for "cyclical changes" if the Democrats carry out the changes which I suggested. There are 84 million Americans living below the poverty line and it is only going to get worse. If another huge downturn like 2008 takes place, there will be demands to Nationalize Real Estate and Health Care.

So they will remove the right to vote? For the good of the people?

The Republicans will never win another election if they suggest changes to the policies I mentioned. The world is changing from a Market Economy to a State Economy. (You can call it Socialism if yuh like.)

The only thing I've seen you mention is to stack the Supreme Court, which isn't a policy. Can you direct me to these policies?

Edit: Get rid of Citizens United and have publicly funded elections. I guess that means the government in charge controls the money distribution. Oh yeah, the public would LOVE that idea!

Thanks

The only reason the Dems. appear to be moving in this direction is to cultivate the youth vote that want a cradle to grave support policy.
