I am really encouraged to see all the organizations who are forming coalitions because they have learned that we cannot just sit back and let politicians think we only show up at election time.
The unions, community groups, liberal activist groups, SS advocacy groups are all joining forces, and have been planning this for months, together with people like Bernie Sanders, to start pushing this Party hard and to let them know they can no longer take our support for granted and then forget about it once the election is over.
I remember after the last election people were stunned when they were basically told to shut up and sit down. That will never happen again. All the whining here for some reason trying to stop the people from participating in their democracy, is pretty stunning actually, but it will have zero effect on anyone.
Politicians are just people. I think some people lose sight of that fact.
