then vote in more of the same. I've been aware of Bernie for years, too, from MSNBC and Air America then Progressive radio with Hartman and Stephanie, etc. I've actually toyed with the idea of moving to Vermont because any State that elects and continues to re-elect Bernie....
I felt, like a Kucinich or a Gravel, the truth speakers, he'd get a little clump of support but wouldn't get the backing $$$$, the media, the boost.
He and his supporters fought and clawed and kept on going and look -- he's topped the "presumptive nominee" in a state or two. Amazing. I donated to his campaign and even though it was minimal, just wanted him to know there's another person out here who trusts him and would entrust our country and government to him.
Anyway, I bet the Kochs and the Dem big money are stunned at how this cycle is progressing.
I know Rachel gets giddy just observing the machinations of politics, and that's kind of how I"m feeling now. My jaw is consistently hitting the floor.
I really do feel that THIS time we might really see some change. Good times, good times.
Edit to correct "reject" Bernie to "re-elect" Bernie. Jeez. Wish I could blame it on auto-correct, but nope. Just operator error.
