This is no time for wishy washy do-nothing Democratic Party candidates

By SJ Otto
Very soon we will see the dog and pony shows of the Democrat candidates running for President. My first choice is Bernie Sanders. He is a powerful candidate and calls himself a socialist. He may not win, but one thing we don’t need is a moderate Democrat who plans to leave in tack all the damage that President Donald Trump has inflicted on this country.
He destroyed what little relief Obamacare (Affordable Care Act.) gave the working poor. He put people in office that are protecting the predatory lenders who where about to be taken to court. Barack Obama had plans to stop them from ripping off poor people. The list of Trump’s destructive policies goes on and on.
What we don’t need is the kind of spineless Democrats that we have seen in past election. We need health care for all and not lame excuses on why we can’t do that. We don’t need lame issues and slogans such as “we are the party of jobs” or “good government.” We need a candidate that takes on issues and will let the people know what his/her stand on the issues are.  We don’t need a candidate that avoids any issue that may offend someone. There are people in this country who need to be offended. We need a strong candidate who will go on the attack. We also don't need a candidate dedicated to sticking to the political center. It's time for a candidate to show us some guts.
Trump is unpopular with a lot of people, but some of those people would just as soon ignore his policies. His policies are destroying our way of life as well as making things in this country much worse than they were before he came to office. We need his policies reversed and repealed.

We need a strong progressive candidate!
