(19,326 posts)I really do think the vast majority of American voters have been paying
very close attention to how they continue to be dumped-on, ignored, abused
and betrayed by our Tweedle-dee/Tweedle-dumb 2-party system; a system
that rewards corporate control & corruption of everything in sight, including
the election system, and our monetary system.
Bernie stand out, as a singularly honest and decent human being who clearly
is dedicated to the collective welfare of our nation; and who knows how it
all works enough to make REAL changes that will matter for decades and
centuries into the future.
Why would ANYone not want that? It would not be the first time that an aware
electorate upends the seemingly "inevitable" go-along/get-along ho-hum out-
of-touch traitors in Congress, who have sold us all out. See 1968, when Sen.
Eugene McCarthy announced his run for the presidency; against an incumbent
Democrat POTUS. The entire political landscape changed virtually overnight.
The same could happen with Bernie. He may not make it all the way to the
WH, but it would definitely force some much-needed, long-overdue changes in
high places.
Come on: just say "Go Bernie!!" .. you know you want to.
