Bernie Sanders' revolution is coming. His rivals are running out of time to stop it



(snip)

In San Antonio on Saturday night, Sanders ignored his Democratic rivals and delivered a general election-style call to action. He also spelled out, for anyone who wasn't familiar, the pillars of his revolution: To raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour; launch a "Green New Deal"; expand public housing; boost government support for organized labor; offer tuition-free college to students, while canceling their debt, and pay raises for school teachers; take apart "the prison industrial complex"; legalize marijuana across the nation and deliver "Medicare for All."

(snip)

That was how he ended a day on the trail that began with a rally in El Paso, Texas, where supporters, many in Tío Bernie t-shirts, were greeted in the lobby of the venue by a four-piece Mariachi band.

When they took the stage, the group performed a rendition of Frank Sinatra's "My Way."

Sanders, after Nevada, seems to be on his.

Why wouldn't a "supposedly liberal" organization be upset about handing Trump a second term and the House on gold platter?

I just finished watching the one in Houston, Texas.

He mentions it.

His slogan is "Us Not Me".

What do you think he means by a political revolution ???

Change for the bottom up.

He explains that at his rallies as well.
