Sanders is great, but he is running a campaign to win, not to govern. I really disagree with this. When you look at his track record he has always run to win and then to work his ass off to govern, I'm not sure why you would think he would change that now. I'm also confused about why you would say he doesn't have any plans. Bernie has introduced many pieces of legislation and co sponsored many others that address specific issues and how to fix them. In some cases like free public education there is a transaction tax aka "Robin Hood Tax', in some cases there are loop holes that need to be closed or rules like Glass-Steagal that need to be reinstated. He has clearly stated that we need to raise the cap on Social Security contributions so that millionaires aren't paying in at the same rate as middle class people etc.

I respect your desire to tackle an issue but I would honestly rather see you advising Bernie and taking a place on his cabinet in order to do this. He has mentioned that he would like to work with you, why not use your plan and work with him? I personally don't want to vote for someone who will only talk about one thing and then leave. While you are only talking about that one thing there are foreign policy issues, natural disasters and the never ending list of what happens on a regular basis in America like instances of police brutality, mass shootings, crumbling infrastructure etc etc.

Oh it's really great! My boyfriend was able to see the last show of the tour here in Oakland while I was away and he said it was one of the best shows he's seen, so sad I couldn't go ! Thanks for answering, I was just curious since she has worked with some of my favorite artists including Sufjan Stevens and Andrew Bird and you are the first one to do an AMA !
