Their days are numbered. Oh, this time they appear to have won. But have they? No. All they have accomplished is piss us off. They showed their asses and now many more see the true nature of their politics.

a term made popular by military strategists.

Sanders just showed how large a force multiplier a man speaking to the desires of people can be.

That's the real secret. Everyone in. True democracy is inclusive and asks everyone to become involved. Republicanism is more of a 'King of the hill' proposition, wherein the people are allowed one say and then are excluded from everything after that.

As a future view I see the real democracy becoming something wherein we use our best communication tools to actually have our voices heard on every matter. Presently we have a process whereby we can be lied to just to grab our vote. What I'd like to see is something like this forum become where our voices can be proclaimed and our leaders discussions are aired to the world.

...organize and build coalitions and blah, blah, blah, blah"

Don't look now all you DLC/DNC/DWS ac-tee-vists (and I truly mean that with all the scorn and derision I can muster), you have just dumped a shitload of political fertilizer on the very movement you spent so much time deriding and smothering.

"They just want free stuff"... we got your free stuff right here...
