President Obama has always been the revolution we needed, and he's done a fantastic job! Unfortunately, the "throw the BlueDemDogs out!" campaign in 2010 stopped his progress - the progress Sanders supporters say they want but couldn't be bothered to support because of what Cenk Uygur, Ed Schultz, Michael Moore, Ralph Nader, Thom Hartmann, and other noted "Liberals" were wailing about when there was NO consensus in Congress to get single-payer through.

People need to know that there are elections every TWO years, not every four years. Once we can put this in their hearts and minds, we can successfully reverse all the damage Republicans have done since taking the House in 2010 and then the Senate in 2014.
