(55,981 posts)are in tough spots sometimes. I get anxious for change. I believe that if we don't make some big strides soon, we may get beyond a tipping point, if we aren't already. In another thread I posted this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5675918. I am afraid the truth is too bad to handle. Those that don't want progressives to win have unlimited resources and I believe will they will go to any lengths. This doesn't mean I won't continue to fight but I'm getting old and I want to see change before I go. I am an old Baby Boomer and I blame my generation for dropping the ball. My parents knew the hell of the First Great Republican Depression and tried to warn us. But we had it easy and let our guards down. We enjoyed the American Dream but our children aren't. I see HRC as part of the system that got us here. We need radical change and HRC isn't the candidate. But as Sen Sanders points out, a progressive candidate would risk great harm to self and family. Be hard to find someone willing to do that.
