The Media, Traditional Dems, the Republicans, the Billionaires, and Ann Coulter were right

to fear Bernie. They hid news of him and his issues away, kept our shell-like ears free from what he was saying, and so we did not know of his ideas of how to address the great problems of this country and of the world.

And even Ann Coulter could see how powerful Bernie was and warned Fox News not to keep beating up on Hillary because Bernie would be harder to beat.

"Coulter argued, “I wish Fox News would go a little easier on Hillary Clinton. She’s the one we want to run against. Could you guys just back off? Because I feel like I’m living through this, I feel like this is déjà vu again. We used to say, ‘Oh, the next president isn’t going to be a guy named Barack Hussein Obama.’ Our next president could be Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16%"

Well, Bernie has been unleashed and his ideas are spreading like wildfire! His changes will not be incrementalist but huge and deep to the core of the problems.

Go, Bernie!!!

...after last nights debate if Hillary regrets pushing for more. If Sanders keeps it up he's going straight to the nomination. She can't defend herself because all he does is tell the truth.

I have long been blown away how so many people on this site don't understand the difference in results between not being able to pass something because of Republicans and DINOS, and not ever fighting for them.

When we fight for our issues, it changes everything. The entire media zeitgeist is altered by a strong individual (such as Warren or Sanders) standing up strong for our issues, or a strong group (Occupy). Without that, everything is based on Republican terms and policies.

We won't get our changes right away. There are a few things Bernie will be able to do in the short-term, but the reality is we will get our soul back as a party, we will get Congress back, the vast disaffected independent bloc will come to Democrats when we are fighting for their interests instead of being sell-outs, progressive issues will be front-and-center in the national course of debate, and Republicans will be exposed as the corporate shills that they are (they aren't exposed as this now because our own party is guilty of the same).

Electing Bernie will change everything. We'll have a huge fight on our hands even then, but it's the fight many of us have been waiting all our lives to wage. Bring it.
