I think what I'm trying to say is there are two schools, one being conservative, the other liberal. One seems to be blind to anything but the return on investment.
People have, and will suffer. And I want to keep that to a minimum. That's far more important than return on investment. Bernie isn't going to do what Bush did, and if these people can't see that then I fear for what we will turn into if Bernie doesn't get in office. That almost sounds pathetic to say, but I think it's true.
I think Jefferson was right on when he advocated shaking the government up every so often. But this frightens the hell out of people with money.
So we've got these basic types. Two mentalities. I hang out on DU because it really feels like we have this in common. But I am so frustrated (oh shit, what was the OT of this thread? I should go to bed. ), because I am absolutely certain that Bernie is what/who we need in the White House. And I've got a very keen bullshit detector. Yet this other type of mentality just doesn't see it. This is what we have to deal with; to overcome; to convince. What I'm almost saying is that we kind of need to all get together to make this happen. This tug of war that I've witnessed in DC over the last 7 years is torture. I can only hope that Bernie's message resonates with people across political lines.
Well, I think it's time to go to sleep. I'm typing incoherently I think.
