It's not free stuff. It's really not complicated:

"Asked to identify the country's top problems, respondents saw corruption as the chief challenge, with 38% listing it. In his stump speeches, Sanders regularly rails against the money-soaked political system as fundamentally corrupt and beholden to special interests. "

I think a lot of people are sick and tired of politicians who blow smoke up your arse every 4 years then turn around and act with total disregard for the population of this country, and with solely some corporate interests in mind: trade deals, immigration, regulations, housing, education, healthcare, etc, etc...

Not if the human resources don't want to participate in it.

That excuse doesn't apply to America.

It's not an excuse, it's a way of life regardless of where they live.

Dan8267 says

Millions of Americans with part-time jobs want full-time work, can't find it

And this would change how under Clinton or Sanders? When their plans call for spending into eternity?

The owner class

And which class would you prefer?

It's an excuse you are making up to condone the failures of capitalism to address systemic poverty, high unemployment, and low productivity.

We weren't talking about Clinton or Sanders, but our economic model.

If you want to evaluate the candidates, then it's this simple. Sanders is the only candidate who actually has the interest of the American people in mind rather than his own career, fame, or self-interest. However, even Hilary Clinton is better than any republican candidate. The republican candidates are pure evil and destructive. The quality of life of 99% of Americans would fall under any of the republican candidates, and many lives would be needlessly killed under their chicken-hawk war mongering.

The worst thing to happen to the American middle class was Ronald Reagan. Sanders would start the healing process from the damage Reagan inflicted upon America.

I would prefer an economic system that rewards innovation, productivity, and progress over one that rewards parasitic control over resources. Such a system, by definition, would not be capitalism or communism. Such a system has not been named yet, but I don't care what it is called. I care about how the system works. As long as you treat economics like a religion instead of like an engineering discipline, you will never understand this.
