Except I just did, and now THAT's stuck in my head.

Anyway, to refocus on the topic with all of that going on in my head, I WANT a serious threat to establishment politics and economics...serious enough to turn them both on their heads. This is good stuff.

they're sick of being blamed every time the latest candidate to "destroy the GOP once and for all!" runs off to pop the champagne with the Pubs and their craziest donors while the voters have to move in with their kids/parents, they're sick of primary shenanigans, they're sick of the pom-poms and hall-monitor orders and demands for weeping gratitude whenever our needs aren't actually getting met

and every month the primary continues more and people will get savvy about the various paths by which party members are disciplined (and MCs and candidates spared from any accountability for their votes)

PTB, we win. If (when) Bernie has the White House in his pocket that's when the true battle begins. Hold on, it's going to be a wild ride!

$20 a month for the duration. Not a lot but I'm telling everybody that
will listen (and some that won't) that this is the guy they've been
waiting for. Tough sell in this neck of the woods. I mean I hear them
beginning to realize what the problems are but they dutifully blame all the
people they've been programmed to blame. Basically the least powerful
people in the nation. But I shall soldier on.
I truly believe this is last chance cafe.

My first 67 year old white woman has started posting Bernie for president posts in fb. Now my second 76 year old white woman client who is a die hard dem. Said everyone she talks to about Hillary is Luke warm. Still not a Bernie supporter but she thinks Hillary can't win the general.
