And the Republicans have backed away from repealing or "fixing" Obummercare after campaigning to do just that. yet no news headlines to be seen form either party calling for single payer.... prisons, hospitals, health care, infrastructure... everything is for profit !

Rule of terror... Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had become the leaders of the Super Hawks Compared to Bush/Cheney? What did (imperfect) Obama invade and occupy for $3T plus hundreds-of-thousands of humans dead and maimed? Who did Obama waterboard, supervised by $80M torture instructors? Obama was criticized by Republicans for not going boots on the ground into Syria, the Republicans get traction complaining that the US military is underfunded and rusty after Obama. A big fat lie. It is modernizing for the new hi-tech and also IED era, and we are spending huge amounts on the military. There is a lot of distance between Obama (Clinton) and Republicans. More than the distance between HRC and Bernie. There are a handful of Democratic hawks in purple states; but generally speaking there is a false equivalency when speaking of Obama and HRC and "Super Hawks" who are virtually all Republicans. I would agree that BHO and HRC were certainly more globally focused and activist than Bernie; but they all valued diplomacy and the UN before bombs. I believe that Bernie would have moved to the middle and made many choices similar to Obama, when the facts were presented. BTW, including a revised TPP and NAFTA.
