(5,400 posts)Look at all the comments sections on the internet where Democrats and Progressives post. It's clear that Sanders is generally seen there as being a great candidate, and that the cheap shots against his campaign are made out of frustration. It's to the point where many Republicans, who rudely deride the economic platform of Sanders, concede his honesty and good intentions.
The Sanders campaign has the momentum and the excitement. It has an upfront agenda that we can be proud of and readily endorse.
Nobody is expecting any Sanders supporter to have to address every outrageous lie. There's going to be partisans sniping away, and others trying to provoke an untoward response by way of provocative and outrageous claims. They're a tiny portion of posters on the internet. If dealt with, deal with them factually and with good humor.
I know, we expect success to taste sweeter, for everyone to be cheering. This important period for the Sanders campaign has been a revelation in many ways, but now the opposition will be gearing up to win on other fronts, in new contests on all the levels that campaigns are waged.
That's nothing to sweat, the message of the Sanders campaign is being heard, and it's winning.
"Can't stop the signal".
