In reply to the discussion: Tens of Thousands Demand DNC Add National Fracking Ban to Party Platform [View all]PoliticalMalcontent
(449 posts)All of Sanders' revolution talk, to me, was about waking people up to ideas outside of the mainstream and hopefully keeping people engaged in politics. The fact that he was so successful in waking the liberal wing of the party and independents shouldn't be lost on politicians, though I'm sure it will.
I think the important thing is that we should stay engaged. Let's vote for the most liberal electable democrats we can find on the local and national levels, ESPECIALLY in primaries, provided they can win. If there's one thing that that I believe this primary proved it is that liberal ideas don't scare people as long as they are coming from people that voters trust.
There's clearly a trust-deficit in the government right now and people who vote blindly aren't helping matters.
