What we do know is that with a candidate who has a record behind him of ACTING on what he SAYS for over 25 years, with voters who support nearly every position he has taken over the years, but have been denied a voice even when they have a few Reps like him trying to fight the system, overwhelmed by the poisonous money that has been buying elected officials, The PEOPLE will support candidates who are WITH him for the Senate and for Congress, not just him.
Because we know, that we do have good Reps in Congress. People like Sanders and so many others, but their voices are silenced by the bought and paid for Reps on both sides of the aisle.
And we know that the current leadership of the Dem Party will support the Corporate candidate every time over the candidate who actually represents the people.
So now that there is a candidate with a long record to make his campaign words credible, those who support him will also support those not supported by the party leadership.
It is going to take decades to undo the harm that has been done. We know that too.
And that is why the sooner the work begins to do that, the better.
