The Conservative Agenda: Voter Suppression

The Primary Issue

The person being interviewed is Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). This clip came to my attention from "Think Progress."

I voted for President Obama in the 2008 election and, given he was running against John McCain, I don't regret that. However, he has compromised too many fundamental progressive principles, the same principles that many voted for him to uphold. Perhaps, him being pushed pulled away from his seemingly corporative direction would be a good thing, especially for those of us who aren't super-rich.
