Bernie Sanders: “If I were to run for president, do you know how much money the Kochs would spend?

88. I understand what Bernie's concerns are, even among those who supposedly support his ideas,

most of those people are not willing to get out and march, the most he might expect is a $5 check from them, and that won't do it. He would have to have a core group of committed people willing to do what was necessary to save our Democracy. Too many say "We cannot split the ticket" "Bernie will cost us the election" as if getting another corporate Democrat is all that great! "But the If the Republicans get in life as we know it will end", yea, well they will get in sooner or later, so why don't we support the first candidate supporting things that will protect us from them, such as Publicly Funded Elections and getting rid of campaign contributions.
Most people, even here at DU, aren't willing to put boots on the ground and stand behind their ideals. Things haven't gotten bad enough for them yet. It is a shame that we will wait until it really is too late to do anything about climate change. People see it, know it, but they just cannot believe it yet, cannot accept it is true!
