Bernie Sanders thinks we need a political revolution.
As does Donald Trump.
And the sovereign citizen community.
So...exactly what happens when a bunch of pissed-off, unarmed people who think the lack of a $15 minimum wage and that the government hasn't taxed the rich into financial oblivion and used the money to pay for healthcare, college tuitions and family leave programs are America's biggest problems...come up against a bunch of pissed-off, heavily-armed people who think America has a minimum wage at all, taxes on the rich are far too high, gays, non-Christians, people who aren't married, people who don't have enough kids, men who wear earrings and women who don't, and brown people are allowed to be on American soil, and the government spends tax money on anything except the Army are America's biggest problems...and those two groups come up against another bunch of pissed-off people who think the country having a government at all is America's biggest problem?

Obama started it and Hillary is taking up the mantel for 2017.. theirs is a real revolution.
Not based on fakery.

No, Cha, what we need is EVOLUTION rather than REVOLUTION. The term I've been using is dereaganization. If we can somehow figure out how to undo everything Ronald Reagan inflicted on this country - if it's even possible to do it - we should be in pretty good shape.

Next we'll have Hillary Clinton and what she will bring to the next 8 years of Democratic Principles in the White House.
But, we need a Democratic Congress, too.. and this is what Hillary understands and works for, while BS keeps his bucks to himself.. and doesn't think he needs A Dem Congress to pass his promises.
