Bernie Sanders

(19,326 posts)It wouldn't be the first time, and probably not the last, that I
"come across" that way.
I've always been a dreamer, a dreamer of a place I've never been,
a society where love & respect is loved and respected, an inclusive
welcoming vibe to all things civic and political, where civic ideas are
discussed with relish, freely and openly, no matter how "unheard of"
seemingly new ideas appear to be.
In this mythical probably non-existent nation, public employees are
truly public servants, they take the term seriously. do what they say,
and say what they do. Yes, even the cops do this.
I live in Portland(ia) Oregon, and yes it is a relative progressive bubble,
yet it pales in comparison to my mythical utopian dream, so I dream on,
and carry on, and make do.
Then along comes this guy Bernie Sanders. OMG! He's seen this
place too, and has been fighting -- as I have with him since the 60s --
to transform this 'democratic experiment' called the USA into a better
place, a more wholesome political environment where everyone counts,
except for a greedy few who are now "taking it all" if no-one stands
in the breach and stops it in it's tracks.
Like I said in OP, Bernie is running against the REAL enemy, not phantom
boogie-men conjured up by M$M to confuse, obfuscate, and distort our political
realities.
Bernie is putting EVERYTHING on the fucking line, just in the nick of time, to
maybe turn this slow-motion disaster around, for the people, not The 1%.
Who the fuck am I to NOT support and respect this man 110%.
All the above impresses me so deeply and profoundly that I'm willing to appear
'the fool' or naive on occasion, if that's what it takes, to help keep Bernie's courageous
run for POTUS true to it's authentic moorings, and not to be sabotaged by well-
intentioned supporters running amuck attacking other candidates willy-nilly, instead
of keeping the focus where it belongs: Wall St., the MIC, Big Pharma, Big Oil, et. al.
Thank you for listening.
