Postal workers union endorses Sanders

Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) joined several us federal workers to support raising the minimum wage and maintaining union rights at a “Fight for $15 and a Union” rally on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., the nation’s largest strike ever powered by fast food workers in hundreds of cities.

Opinion polls show socialism is still a broadly unpopular label in the United States, but they also show a generational change in attitudes as young people who did not live through the Cold War are far less likely to be scared of the tag.

Sanders’ campaign argues that the Senator could not have run for election as a Democrat in the state of Vermont even if he wanted to, because his home state does not register voters by party. Democratic presidential candidate, Sen.

“[Sanders] has already blocked the slate of nominees to the postal Board of Governors that includes the “king of postal privatizers” James Miller and payday lending industry lobbyist Mickey Barnett”, Dimondstein said before encouraging members to help elect Sanders president. The endorsement comes before Saturday’s second Democratic presidential debate in which Sanders and Clinton will face off against one another.

Clinton scored a big win late last month when the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees picked her over Sanders, along with an early endorsement from the American Federation of Teachers.

The former mayor of Salt Lake City and founder of the US Justice party, Rocky Anderson, told RT that Sanders is “a real thing”. Sanders was asked about coming to campaign in New Hampshire by a woman marching with him.

“I’ve always been a Clinton fan but now Bernie came on the scene and I think he has a lot of good ideas”, Currier said.

Rousey, who is undefeated in her martial arts bouts, may find it harder to pick a winning candidate next year since Clinton continues to lead Sanders in polling. Among likely Iowa Democratic caucusgoers, the president’s favorability rating in the October Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register poll was 90 percent-including 51 percent of respondents who said they had a very favorable view of the president.

“For our part, we’re going to focus less on frivolous challenges that undermine the gravity of the New Hampshire primary, and more on the issues that affect every day Americans, from income inequality to the appalling influence of corporations on our political process”.

O’Malley has for the past few weeks been questioning Sanders’s commitment to Obama, noting that the senator said in interviews in 2011 that he wanted to see a Democratic primary challenger enter the ring against the incumbent president. “He staunchly opposes postal privatization, and supports enhanced postal services, including postal banking”, said Dimondstein.

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was in New Hampshire Wednesday, honoring veterans and refusing to talk politics.
