(11,546 posts)Obviously many in the older generations (not all! There are some very progressive older folks here too!) have gotten it all wrong, including my own genration (x). Look what has happened in 2007/2008. Then we voted in someone who we thought would be a bit more progressive than he turned out to be. And because of his true stances and the fact that the Repubs have had it out for him since day 1, not a lot has changed apart from the ACA. And the older, established Dems seem to like it like that. Yes, economically things are a bit better but so many are still struggling big time. The rest of us are not happy with this. Things MUST change or else our economy, our health and our planet will disintegrate.
Now is the time to have TRUE change! Getting rid of DWS will not be the only positive effect of Bernie's campaign. People's eyes are opening and the younger folks are realizing that they DO have power, if they use it and others don't CHEAT them out of that power.
And the investigations are a VERY grave matter. Even the MSM gets this. Hillary will not be the next President. If people didn't trust her before, now it will be 10 times worse. She MAY be the nominee, but she will be limping to the finish line. And I don't believe that all of the Supers will stick with her.
