Objects in Mirror Closer Than They Appear: The Sanders Surge

[Dustlawyer]

13. K&R!!! I wish that every American would read this so they could understand Bernie and the problems

we face. It is so sad that the only one telling the truth and pointing out where and how badly we are being scammed, screwed, and lied to is a "long shot"!

I really don't understand Hillary's support here because these people should know better. I respect their choice all the same, but I am not deluded that many of them will cross over to Bernie now. They know what he is about and should know what she is about. I am happy she came out on the voter registration issue, it really puts the Republicans over a barrel. But what about policy, where does she stand on the issues so skillfully laid out in this piece? Most of us know where she stands on issues related to Wall Street, MIC, Insurance Companies, Big Pharma..., where they tell her to. That is why she will not talk specifics about TPP, campaign finance reform, more war and the bloated defense budget, Wall Street reform, NSA spying, Climate Change and the like. Sure she will say this is bad, or that needs to be looked at, but nothing concrete. She will pick easy issues that her big Donors don't care about, LGBT rights, women's issues, voting rights (because they control the candidates, with Bernie being the exception), and other similar issues that while important, don't affect her Donor's bottom line.

We need to focus our efforts on the ones that don't know what Bernie is about. We need to reach out to the poor and minorities to let them know that Bernie speaks for them, and help them to get registered so their voices can be heard. There lies the masses that Bernie will need to turn his long shot into a reality. It will not be with television commercials or to some extent, even the internet. It will have to come down to door knocking, phone banks, voter registration drives, rides to the polls, and sheer determination. The kind of determination that keeps Bernie going day in and day out.

Thank you Mr. Pitt!
