A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
What other prominate progressives who can run for the presidency?

All I can think of is Warren.

Well sure, you gotta watch out for imposters but if it's got a VT state grading seal on it you're probably pretty safe. If it's from Canada or elsewhere you take your chances, and if it should actually list any ingredients other than maple sap (or indeed even have an ingredients list) you should pass it by and, just to be safe, burn the joint down.

Bernie has popular policies that his appeal is based off of. Hillary didn't and her "appeal" was forced. In fact I hope the GoP goes whole hog against Bernie and he wins anyway.

e: And while we are hoping, I hope Single payer gets passed in the first 100 days of his presidency just as an added gently caress you to 2016 bad dem status quo.

yeah. maple sap production has already been hosed up by several recent abnormally warm winters that disrupt the cold night / warm day spring weather it requires. as weather patterns continue to change it's unlikely that the state's production will be able to maintain profitability.

tap technology has improved and lines now snake tree-to-tree through plastic piping allowing for more trees to be tapped with less effort collecting but the fact remains that if the temperature shifts upward and northern New England has the climate of the Atlantic seaboard states there ain't much gonna be coming out of the trees in march.

I hope I'm wrong.
