The really process is changing the House/Senate makeup, but since we're going to see 90+% of incumbents return, what change is actually going to happen? The vast majority of those who can pass laws will still be backed by Wall Street and corporate money. And the country will go from a Dem President who couldn't do anything due to obstruction to....a Dem President who couldn't
do anything due to obstruction. Not a lot of change there is it?

A vote for Bernie is, either now or in four years, a vote for the hardline right wing republicans, because that is where the U.S. goes after a failed four years of nothing happening.
