29. If the Democratic party

in Kansas can take Bernie to heart we are golden. It was pretty stodgy, at least I felt it certainly was. When the state party leader insults most of the people in your state in a very snotty way out loud and printable then you have to stop and think that maybe something is wrong here. I don't know if this works in all places but it works here, I felt it and saw it working here.

We can work together without excluding all the people who differ from us. No scores here to be settled, it worked. Not completely but damn that is some big change for us. This is what you build on, everyone has to rethink their priorities and get together.
