Is the Revolution too big to sabotage yet?

We the People been at these turning points before, and something always happens...

An assassination, a big bombing, an economic collapse...and the effort is short-circuited. Sometimes, it's a strategic capitulation by TPTB, giving a little here so they can tighten the screws so much more elsewhere.

I guess we will know in 6 weeks. But living with your heart in your mouth is very uncomfortable.

Let us pledge to each other to continue, regardless of whatever curve balls God, Nature or the Masters of the Universe decide to pitch our way. Real change doesn't happen overnight...it's the product of relentless effort and continual pressure and personal application to the cause.

Our cause is just! So long as we have each other, we have a way forward. It's much more than an election at risk, here; it's greening, it's peace, it's equality for all, it's a better world.

AFAIK he has no Secret Service protection and if he has security guards they are not visible.

a couple of % can be made to disappear or change sides, but not the amount that would be needed to install the GOP. Or Hillary.
