Bernie

I'm extremely proud of Bernie and in awe of his courage.

My favorite person in the world, a man named Prem Rawat, has worked hard for more than 50 years, dedicated to bringing peace to people, in fact, to the world. So many obstacles, critics, people who tell him, as with Bernie, "give it up, water it down, impossible dreams...."
He said this, and it always makes me think of Bernie.:

"This is my ambition! This is not open to the practicalities of whether it is possible or not.

Achievement -- the truest achievement in this life -- doesn't happen because somebody overcame some odds.

It happens when a person understands in their life that 'no' is not an answer, that compromise is not a solution.

The greatness of this life, the peace in this existence, can truly be manifested when each one of us -- each one of us -- begins to understand that no is NOT an answer, that compromise is NOT a solution, to realizing the greatness of this existence."

Clintons' karma will catch up with them

And the goodness of Truth is indestructible.

They ought to have gone away quietly with some dignity and a decent legacy. The lure of the Final Scam is too great, though... Just one last caper...

Also I think it's helpful to use "I" instead of "you"

even when postulating what "one" might do.

I find it's easiest to make a non threatening point if I own it entirely. And stick to what I know, first-hand -- or to what I personally think. Understanding that in reality, no two pov's can be the same, AND none are invalid.

Misunderstandings happen so fast, too fast, and take forever to clear up.

And the Poor, of course, will be poorer, so there's that...

I still think he's going to win this election, despite all odds. Can't shake it.

Though the most recent widespread smear is heartbreaking. He doesn't deserve it; but I believe the smug liespreaders will have their pretty karma....

Bernie's still pretty young and probably has

a good 20 more years ahead; he can run for President every 4 years if he likes. He's the future. Don't fear the Dark Ones. They will slink away along with their minions. Sun is rising.
