Politico: "Bernie's army in disarray" Our Revolution flailing, poor fundraising, candidates losing

68. Well, no.

And if you supported Sanders... he's going out of his way to remain unaffiliated with it. What does that tell you?

You don't separate yourself then become the headliner for their campaign 03/10/2018. That was just over 2 months ago. Their next stop according to Sanders is Lubbock. This is not a separation. This is full throttle support.


Bernie Sanders/Our Revolution in Texas

Finally, the headliner, Bernie Sanders, came on to a long standing ovation. In his speech, he highlighted how progressive ideas had become more mainstream since the election: the idea of expanding Social Security benefits, of local initiatives to make public higher education tuition-free, of state ballot referendums that decriminalize marijuana use to roll back the failed war on drugs, and of the new push for sensible gun laws followed by the events in Florida. He mentioned that of 29 candidates endorsed by Our Revolution, 17 won their primaries (9 won outright, 8 move on to runoffs). Like Nina, he said that we needed to view Trump voters differently from how they are often portrayed. He emphasized that candidate Trump continually told voters that he felt their pain, that he was going to bring jobs back to the laid off, put in something even better than Obamacare, and many other promises to look at for working folks. The problem with Trump’s great speeches, as Bernie summed it up: “he lied.” He noted that the next Our Revolution event, planned for Lubbock, had already seen its 1,000 tickets already reserved (the event, like this one, is free but requires a reserved ticket). Lubbock is deep red, but as Jim Hightower noted in his speech, they voted for him twice, and people even in deep red areas are hungry to talk about real solutions to the problems we face.
