    I can't believe US is screwing up its future for the second time. You had the chance to elect a guy like Bernie twice. A guy that can work towards an actual change unlike Obama's never realized change. A guy that's promising what many European leaders are already doing or working with.
    You're going to run with Biden who is endorsed by Bloomberg?
    And then expect racism, gun ownership, bail-outs not to become a standart?
    This is a proof that most democrats are as shallow as Republicans. Sorry to say but US is doomed to fail if you dont have the guts to introduce some drastic change.
