In reply to the discussion: What is Sanders path to victory, specifically? [View all]Raster
(20,998 posts)This is about trying to return some control of this country back to the actual citizens, from the bankers and the corporations.
This is not a cult of personality. This is not something Bernie Sanders is doing because he's planned for it for years, or he thinks it's his turn. This is something he feels he has to do because he feels like the common, ordinary man and woman have been completely disenfranchised by our government.
This is a movement. And piss all over the concept as you wish. But there are a hell of alot of people who don't give a damn if this is Hillary's moment. There are a hell of alot of people - of all ages - that see the direction this country is moving AND BELIEVE IT IS WRONG.
AGAIN, this is NOT ABOUT FULFILLING THE GREATER GLORY OF AN INDIVIDUAL. This is about a place at the table for Joe and Jane Average. This is about being able to have kids knowing they will have opportunities to do better than you did.
And of course you've never seen a candidate to that, because they have always been part of the same crooked, rigged system, and that's they way they were expected to behave in the system.
Do you really think Bernie Sanders is doing this because he wants to? Do you really think Bernie Sanders is doing this for the glory of Bernie?
