(8,175 posts)It took Bernie standing alone in the cold for awhile to get our attention. That and Citizen's United, which has been like a slow burn ever since it passed. All revolutions take a kickstarter...a straw that broke the camel's back. Citizezn's United was our straw.
Now we know the momentum really can work and it's bringing more and more people out to join.
the Hillary supporters still think this is about Bernie and some love affair we have with him, but this thread is actually a perfect example that it is not. You see them taking this as a snide jab that Bernie is gaining ground and we are rubbing it it. That wasn't Cali's point at all...but of course the loudest of them piped right up and could not help but show they can't hear us at all.
Cali, this was a really well articulated and profound point. We all need to keep this in mind.
You rock girl!
Edited to add: The moderate and conservative dems should all be behind the point of this thread, but they aren't because it is that very money they should detest in the sytem, that has kept their nominee out front for so long, and owns the news that has suppressed Bernie for so long. So they must have a love/hate relationship with that money.
