Bernie Sanders is and continues to be critical of President Obama

"As you already know but persist in ignoring, polls consistently and repeatedly show that that the electorate is far more in agreement with Bernie Sanders on the major issues than the corporate candidates we are offered, over and over again."

The key thing is, will people who register these results at the polls actually VOTE that way at the polls,. and the fact that anyone to the left of Hill and Obama gets chewed up says otherwise. We are seeing a bit of light with the Deblasios, but to quote poll stats that do not reflect how people WILL ACTUALLY VOTE won;t help. I know we would all like to beleive that if we just showed people a fact, they would agree with us, but the fact is there are lot of other factors, namely the fact that most people are fearful, and kept in a state of fear.

The truth is, we can turn this around, but we need to start at the local level, and work our way up with momentum. We need to have a bunch of successful liberal governors, like the ones in California and Kentucky, so that when we ask "who will we run in the next election" we have some solid plans over than "Let's float whoever did not win the last one." The reason for this is simple, once we show that no, doing liberal policies doe not turn places into the 9th level of Hell, then we will tempt more and more people into straying off the path laid for them.

But polls saying that more people agree? That nice, but it does not reflect what people will actually DO. We need to build momentum locally, then state, then congress, so that the weak people, who are the majority, will feel they can coast on a current.
