1990 Bernie NAILED What's Wrong & Shows Why HE'S RIGHT To Fight




Bernie Sanders in 1990 on C-SPAN spoke about what's wrong with the American political system using much of the same language he uses today. The problems he identified then have only gotten worse and are why he's right to keep fighting for the progressive revolution.

The difference between he and HRC and Trump are stark. Will be interesting to see the polls in the next few weeks, if any of them actually include Bernie, in the wake of Brexit. Have family in London (Americans) who are devastated and scared of the future of Britain if this stands and they exit the EU. They lived in Moscow for 10 years before relocating to London 2 years ago. My great-nieces go to an amazing school there and they are both very worried. One of them (16 y/o} is on her way to PDX today and I hope to learn a lot from her.

Our government in the hands of greedy predators is bad for us, seriously bad for us, our children, our loved ones, the health of our planet, the future. We have to take back the reins. We have no choice. We must.

Bernie's not the only guy out there saying it like is is, but he's the only one who has managed to find a megaphone big enough to get past the corporate-controlled media. He's doing something about it.

I love what he's doing. It's an existential decision: what do I support in this life?

Last week the Sanders campaign sent me an email asking if I want to discontinue my recurrent monthly contributions to his campaign. Hell, no. Within my physical limitations, it may very well be the best thing I'm doing with my life.

Keep on keeping on, Bernie. You're doing what needs to be done.

You stand for all of us.
