I agree with you about Sanders and Warren. I wish they would run and at least get in the debates. As it is now the media won't even present "progressive" positions. Middle of the road Democrats like Obama and Clinton are presented as liberal and progressive candidates by the corporate media. The political spectrum is kept center-right, that's the choice America is presented with. Issues like the Keystone pipeline are so important all voices need to be listened to if a just solution is to be found. I hope people can begin to come to their senses on the issues that will really matter long term-for the health and well-being of future generations.
