(3,818 posts)when we all voted for PBO and the Hope and Change platform we didn't specifically state, out loud and in print, what exactly we wanted to Change and what exactly we were Hoping for. Our fallibility as humans is that we think everyone thinks exactly as we do and grew up the same. I've read where the only thing that is keeping us from out and out revolution is middle class values and manners. We don't want to be the one's to fire the first shot.
So, yes, Critical Mass towards Reason to Prevail is that we need to address exactly what that means so everyone is on the same page. It is boring and hard work and will most likely turn people off but that is their problem.
Bernie Sanders is the only one I have seen/read who does address specifics on what we as a country need to address. It has taken him years to get his message out. If it wasn't social media he'd still be languishing along with other progressive voices. His message isn't being filtered by MM.
When you wish for something be extremely specific on what is you want. We fell for the Change tagline, and got exactly what we wanted - change but for the worse. But hey! it's change! Woo hoo!
