Proud Visionary [View all]

[Truprogressive85]

I voted in my very first presidential election on Nov 2004
I was an angry 19 year old, who hated GWB with every single fiber in my body.
I originally supported Dr. Dean ,but when he failed to clinch the nomination I supported J. Kerry.
When Kerry lost ( OH results were bullshit) I said to myself I would do everything in my power to never support the Establishment candidate ever again. That time came in 2007 ,When a skinny ,funny named man from Senator from Illinois declared his plans to run for president. Barack Obama was my candidate,

Barack Obama was a visionary, and someone that won by being so. He laid out plans for Healthcare, Closing Gitmo, vote against the war in Iraq, Hope & Change, and energized youth voters.. He took on the Clinton Machine and won ! After a few years, Pres. Obama shifted from being a visionary to a pragmatist and the results were a bloodbath in 2010, and 2014 midterms. Why do Democrats give up during midterm elections ? Answer is simple: those in Establishment hate progressives so they hand pick shitty candidates to run and than pass blame on the voters

When Sen. Sanders talks about a political revolution,it is a transformation of the party and the electorate.
I do not have crystal ball nor some tarot cards to tell me the future ,but I do know that those underestimating the Sanders campaign are in for a huge shock .

Give me a Visionary who will fight for me vs a Pragmatic who will sell me out
