Sen. Bernie Sanders is in this race to WIN IT!

[sabrina 1]

Every vote for Sen. Sanders is a vote AGAINST Citizens United!

Anyone who thinks he is not serious about WINNING this election, hasn't been paying attention to this candidate.

He promised us that if we wanted him in this race, he would run!

We told him we did and he has kept that promise

He promised us that he would not enter this race as a spoiler!

He has kept that promise also. He is running as a Democrat

Bernie KNOWS that if you have to drag someone to the Left, they were not there to begin with and will not remain there should they win an election.

He is way too smart a man to take on a campaign such as this to have as a goal something so utterly ridiculous.

So to those who are attributing such a useless goal to someone as smart as Bernie Sanders, I would like to know what has led them to believe such a thing?

It also implies that other Democratic candidates in the race are not on the Left.

Let's HOPE that is not the case.

Democrats ARE the Left, and no Democrat should need to be 'dragged to the Left'.



He has issued a challenge to We The People who have railed against Citizens United to put our actions where our 'outrage' has been.

He is providing us with the opportunity to strike what could be a fatal blow against Citizens United to elect a Candidate who is supported by the PEOPLE.

Bernie is running to WIN THIS RACE!

There is no question about that!

Until HE tells us 'I am just trying to drag the party to the Left' that particular notion is one of the most ridiculous notions regarding this exciting candidacies so far.

Who has supported Bernie's Political career for so long?

A VOTE FOR BERNIE IS A VOTE AGAINST THE CORROSIVE EFFECT OF MONEY ON OUR ELECTORAL SYSTEM!

[Dems to Win]

1. Bernie made it clear that he would not get in unless he was convinced he had

the support to make a serious challenge, with a genuine possibility of victory.

He's been pretty consistent in saying this for a couple of years on Thom Hartmann's Brunch with Bernie show.

Robert Reich made a Facebook post not too long ago saying that if no one else got into the race to talk about progressive issues, he would do so. THAT would have been a run just to bring up issues. Bernie has never indicated he has that kind of attitude about his run.

Bernie IS in it to win it!

3. Yes, he did. There is no doubt he thought very hard about this and concluded that he does

have as much of a chance as any other candidate to win.

Those saying otherwise are trying to suppress enthusiasm or are totally out of touch with reality, imo.

As he said 'do not underestimate me'. I know I don't. And I think the truth is that some of those claiming he's not in it to win, are not underestimating him either.

2. I keep seeing that Bernie isn't in to win being said

I keep laughing, sometimes I reply.

4. "Democrats ARE the Left, and no Democrat should need to be 'dragged to the Left'".

Wow, what an awesome statement. Well said!

[sabrina 1]

5. It is weird to say the least, that any Democrat needs to be pushed to the Left, but that

Is what they are saying, imo. An acknowledgement of the swing to the right of this party.

I prefer a candidate who after he wins, will pull the party back to its roots.
