Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. (Getty Images photos)
If you could promise anything in the world to earn you a vote, would you? Raise taxes on the rich? Pass single-payer health care? How about chocolate milkshake water fountains in school?
There are two Democrats running for president. Hillary Clinton is promising what The New York Times has called a vision in which middle-class Americans have a real shot at prosperity, women s rights are enhanced, undocumented immigrants are given a chance at legitimacy, international alliances are nurtured and the country is kept safe. The other candidate is promising you chocolate milkshake water fountains.
