I think it's really going to happen

[Lawud]

I never thought in my life time I would see such a turn around in this country for a man
and a vision


Thank you Bernie

1. I wish I had your confidence. Al Gore won.

[Lawud]

2. People I talk to

Even people I don't talk to..

Waiting in line to get a coffee with the TV news on

Sitting in the waiting room today to see my doctor with the TV on a news channel

It doesn't matter where I am when he talks I look around the room at peoples faces.

I can see it ... he's speaking for them

[Live and Learn]

3. I see it too. People are feeling the Bern and they are excited about it. nt

[Lawud]

7. They are excited

We have 4 large screen TV's where I work in our cafeteria and even though our employee
policy is to not get into debates about politics I look around.

Some of these guys that work there are not Democrats or Republicans ( middle of the road I guess you would call them)but they are listening when he speaks.

I see it

[rusty quoin]

4. But maybe it does not matter what regular people think.

I'm not saying stay at home, but try to understand what we are up against. If everyone who is for Bernie goes to the polls and actually votes, then Bernie can win. But too many people don't vote. There is not enough anger on our side out there, at least not yet.

I believe that anger is the best motivator to get people to vote. It's not thoughtful process. It is instant pissed off.

For that reason, the whole race is up in the air to me.

[pangaia]

6. Well, go out and tell people.

Do something about it. Then we can win.
See? That's how it works.
You are absolutely right.

[retrowire]

5. it is going to happen.

he is invoking passions that even Obama didn't invoke.

[Lawud]

8. yup

9. I Bought Some Signs From Bernie Sanders.com

And put up at least one a day.

My neighborhood is filling up.

Every major street.

Some I have to replace.

Looks good. Sign disappears, then reappears. Means something.

I for one am tire of being expected to work harder for less, and less every day.

Seems like I give something to Bernie every time some asshole attacks him. When the attack Bernie they attack me, since it is my family he is fighting for.

[Lawud]

13. wow !that's awesome

18. Welcome to DU!

11. I think he may be nominated in spite of all the Dems freaking out.

And I predict Trump will be nominated the same way.

But in the battle between Trump and Sanders I'm not as confident as to the winner.
Obviously the election should be a joke and Bernie should win without even trying but I don't think it will happen that way.

Many Americans, possibly even most, are trained from birth to respond to media messages.
We allow the media to mold our thoughts and feelings instead of working out issues on our own.

Trump is a master showman and is expert at hogging the media spotlight and insuring that his likeness is burned into everyone's brain continually.
Burnie is not a master showman. He's an earnest politician with deeply held beliefs.
Will truth and honesty win out over glitz and con-man confidence tricks?
I'm not so sure.
I think too many of us are gullible and easily manipulated by flashy images as opposed to logic and thinking.

I hope I'm wrong but it sure seems like thinking for yourself is becoming a lost art in America and Trump will leverage that to his advantage all that he can.

[Lawud]

12. I agree in what you posted and Trumps message when you get

past all the flash is fear

That is his whole campaign message , it's fear , fear this , fear that..

I'm just a nobody but I believe that people will eventually see the type of man he really is.

Once Bernie and Trump stand on stage together it will become much more obvious who really cares
more for this country and it's people.

16. If that happens I swear I will work my ass off from South Korea

and when I am on my vacation in the US to help get Bernie Sanders elected.

19. It's STILL going to be an uphill battle.

The Establishment is just getting started and lets not forget about those super delegates. But can it be done? Yep. How do I know? It's BEING done. Right now. Right here. We're watching history being made.

Now, GET BACK TO WORK!

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. That's because he's AUTHENTIC.

Bernie is real. He's kind. He's honest. He's ETHICAL and a GENUINELY GOOD PERSON.

Most people know authenticity when they see it. Also, all one has to do is read about him. He has said the same things for the last 45 years. It doesn't get any more real than that!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

24. And the tough thing is that Bernie Sanders' election

is Step One of about 23 steps we must take away from Empire and toward a sustainable "earth community" if we're going to survive.

But we must take Step One.
