(5,610 posts)With Bernie's continuing POTUS announcements, I believe that he may run in 2016. I hope he does, not to move democrats to the left, but to win.
If all of the "party first" people would vote for what is best for America, Senator Sanders can win.
If Americans are educated about his proven political record, and Democrats who are actually ready for positive "people first" changes
realize that Bernie, no matter what letter is behind his name, is the best hope for average Americans since FDR, Bernie would win in a landslide.
It takes people who use the "spoiler" meme to organize behind Bernie and get this great American elected, because he has already proven himself.
The 2 party system has morphed into rich and richer. It is time to actually vote for the best person, not promises. Yes the time is now for us to persuade party first democrats that party is secondary to the policies (which used to be the Democratic platform) which Senator Sanders governs by.
With the proven political record of Senator Sanders, WE can change the current political landscape for future generations as well as ourselves.
IMO, the "spoiler" meme means that you buy in to the corporate "wisdom."
Again, IMO, anyone who has the opportunity to vote for Bernie Sanders as POTUS and doesn't, is a person happy with the status quo.
