All the pundits & talking heads are weighing in against Bernie. Whatwill they dowhen we ignore them?

They're the ones that are going to throw temper tantrums. Some may get angry. Angry that they can't "control" us. That they cannot "rein us in." That they can't "bring us to heel."

On that note, isn't it strange how many of these so-called "democratic" leaders are insisting on obedience? Maybe they're not the freedom-loving people we thought...

the things I believe in.

If he's not the winner, I hope the Democratic Establishment can possibly run with half the vigor and half the Progressivism that he has. If they do, I will support them. If they do not, I totally reserve my opinion and my right to act however I see fit.
