...is how I see him.

Obama used to like the word "audacity". Bernie has it up to his eyeballs. He empowers us to see the way things could be, if only we choose to have the courage to stand up together.

Cowards and cynics choose incrementalism. Not us. We stand up and say, the old way ain't workin'. All it takes is enough of us to stand up together.

But as long as they keep us too afraid to stand, we'll be stuck crawling on our hands and knees.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
