This is Leftist

40. We need more anti-war anti-corporatist populist

leftists like me and you! We have very few in Congress. We should definitely start there. Sadly I don't think there's much chance we'll get one in the Presidency for a while. Personally, while I do vote I'm much more interested in my local stuff. Being a decent person, avoiding warlike & corporatist behaviors, things of that sort. I'm in favor of nationalizing health care, nationalizing banking, taxing the rich and government creating good paying jobs. In Europe that makes me moderate. In the current USA I'm far left. It's nice knowing there's others like us out there all around. Many of the younger people I talk with feel the same. But it's like pulling teeth trying to convince them to even voting at all, because they do see the well-known democratic candidates as being far too pro-corporate and pro-military-industrial for their tastes. I tell them to vote to stop republicans. Some of them agree. But I feel like, especially for midterms, they just tell me that and that they are too cynical and / or lazy to vote in them.
