Whether or not this opponent of the billionaire class, corporate greed, Wall Street and environmental degradation – and this champion of working people, the unemployed, retirees, and student debtors – is our next president will be entirely up to us.
Hillary Clinton is obviously not a progressive candidate – and she is the epitome of the Washington establishment that most Republicans are running against, and which most Americans have grown to distrust.
As established progressive organizations and political groups struggle to bring in and engage younger audiences, Rev. William Barber suggests appealing to their desire to do something big for the world that will have a multi-generational impact.
There’s now an easy solution for all student debtors who are locked into a lifetime of debt with ever-increasing interest: Become a Christian and move to Indiana. Hallelujah!

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
