Bernie referred to this recently, I guess he pays attention to what is going on in this country which without a doubt is a shift in the political landscape due to the fact they believe they have NO SAY anymore understanding the fact that it is Corporations that influence policies and no matter how big the opposition to policies may be, the people are ignored.

People are looking for a real change and on big issues such as SS and FP eg, there is a huge consensus across the board.

As Bernie said, half the country doesn't vote due to a belief that it doesn't matter. He plans to give them a reason and I believe he can.

The country may be going through a real shift politically where the two parties better start paying attention the people or the people will simply ignore them as they have ignored the people.
