(14 posts)This is my first and maybe only post, although I've been reading this site for years. Listen, look at the big picture. If you think that the money people and the movers and shakers are not concerned about what they've seen Bernie accomplish, you are greatly deceived. We are out here and in significant numbers and we will remain out here. The planet is in trouble, our system is in trouble, and we want to do it with a vote and not a gun. Cheer up. We are firing a shot across the bow of the corporatist's ship. We may not see the results in our lifetime but the groundwork is being laid for your kids and their kids. Look at the Bull Moose party! Despite dividing the GOP and allowing Wilson to win, every tenet of the Bull Moose party became law within 25 years; women's right to vote, abolishment of child labor, labors right to organize, and establishment of a social security system. I'm 63. I don't think I'll live to see the changes we need, but you can't give up on the hope of wanting it, wishing for it. And lets hope we get a chance to do it at the ballot box, as opposed to an environmental disaster that will force it. Cheers everybody. I want Bernie. But I'll vote for Hillary and she will destroy the Donald.
