Hillary could be a good president. Bernie would be a great one. America dropped the ball. You had a chance to bring prosperity and equality, to return America to being the land of Opportunity for all, not just for some. You had a chance to invest in the people and the country instead of just the wealthy few and the military contractors and fossil fuel companies. To support our weakest and raise them up instead of wealthcare to raise up the 1% on the backs of everyone else. We could have made the rich pay their fair share instead of the middle class shouldering their burden. We had a chance to bring the minimum wage to where it should be and to tax the rich at pre-"bush's tax holiday for the rich" rates. We had a chance to provide K-16 so that America could compete with the world. We had an historic moment in our hands and we failed. America, whatever happens in the coming 8 years, you earned it.
