Bernie channeling FDR today -

14. I think FDR is exactly the right note to hit for him/us.

My own "Big Picture" explanation of what is going on here is this:

After the Great Depression the country was ready to move away from pure Capitalism and toward an economy which included some Socialist aspects.

Now, after the Great Recession the country is ready to move away from the Reagan/Bush/Bush economy and create a stronger social safety net than now exists.

It is a specific moment in history and we need to take advantage of it. We can't come back 4 or 8 years later and get it done. We need Bernie (or someone just like him) to win in this cycle. This chance may not come again for decades.


We are extremely lucky to have someone running who has spent over 40 years promoting exactly what this country now wants/needs.
