Lets be clear about Bernie vs Hillary

99. Frustration

Yes it is frustrating seeing democratic socialists and progressives cast aside by the Democratic Party because "they can't win." McGovern is cited as the classic example, but he had to deal with the Eagleton thing, and the media suddenly decided Nixon was the anti-war candidate. If people want to disrespect Sanders, that's OK with me. I can't be too hard on anyone who unquestioningly subscribes to the conventional wisdom. Most people don't like too much change, so they probably find the idea of a President Hillary Clinton a comforting notion, since she is likely to bring about change, but nothing dramatic, just enough to make people feel good. Sanders, on the other hand, makes people nervous, because it's clear he plans to work for more dramatic change. Maybe the voters are ready for significant movement on issues such as the wealth gap, tax inequities, off-shoring jobs, etc. I hope so. I'm ready for Sanders, but people I talk to about Sanders seem hesitant, as if thinking, "It sounds like a good idea, but there must be a catch." The catch is, you have to recognize your own interests and support a candidate who will defend those interests against corporations and banks.
