Bernie's Revolution

[tecelote]

People rise up and elect a President the media and their corporate overlords don't endorse - one they fear.

The House and Senate are overturned by a huge majority.

America shifts to the benefit of Americans over International Corporations.

Lives of all Americans improve.

---

It's there in the math. The money to make this happen is available if we change our priorities. People over war. People over profit.

That is what Bernie is talking about.

Corporations should prosper but, people need to be the priority.

America for and about Americans.

All Americans.

[azmom]

1. Yes, people over profit.

The economy should serve humanity not be slaved by it.

[Live and Learn]

2. K&R for all people! nt

[zappaman]

3. Ok. n/t

[MohRokTah]

4. .

[daleanime]

14. So that's one.....

for money>people.

[tecelote]

17. +1

[appalachiablue]

5. 'This country belongs to all the people.' - Bernie Sanders.

[malokvale77]

6. Quite a concept isn't it.

Yet, right here on DU, some will and/or have sold out the majority of the people for their own comfort.

They remind me of the Reagan Democrats.

[brooklynite]

8. You know, "Reagan Democrats" were named that because they voted for Reagan?

Are you suggesting that anyone here would vote for the Republican in 2016?

Or (more likely is my guess), one of the Democratic candidates isn't a "real" Democrat?

[malokvale77]

12. I know damned well who the Reagan Democrats were.

Everything in your post to me is garbage.

[stevenleser]

59. If you know, your posts do not reflect it. Nt

[daleanime]

15. You know, that was so subtle.....

you really seem to be in mid-season form right now. Playing at the top of your game....



in other words, thanks for the laugh. I need that.

[PatrynXX]

19. more to the point

there is no denying the fact on record Hillary is a Fiscal Conservative. real Democrat or not.. I dropped those names long ago. I'll vote for the Liberal candidate if I can. or at least as far left as I can and thats not Hillary. and yes he does seem to wear a hair piece but compared to Ben Carson he's like on the lowest rung.. ie yall can say kudos to Collin Powell all you want but when one of us decides to do the same one gets dirt thrown. then the provocation above comes out

[houston_radical]

29. you sound like a tea partier

a "real" democrat??
democratic "purity"?
seriously?
unbelievable

[lewebley3]

26. The site is Dem Underground: Not socialist underground: Most Dem's want Hillary

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

27. Polls on this site tell a different story.

About 80% support Bernie.

[lewebley3]

28. That is why Sanders people are out of touch with most of America

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

32. I really want to understand your insult.

Could you explain, or flesh it out a little more?

[lewebley3]

33. What insult: its just the fact!

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

38. Just because I proved that this is socialistunderground? You brought it up.

[lewebley3]

46. Americans reject socialism

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

47. Not true. They love socialism.

Many don't know what the word really means, but they love the results.

[dreamnightwind]

40. Just take it as a compliment

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

41. Kind of hard to talk to these people.

[dreamnightwind]

43. That one is quite amusing in its own way, I always wonder who that person is

[malokvale77]

30. Aren't you precious. nt

[lewebley3]

31. Three cheers for HIllary

[malokvale77]

44. Ha Ha Ha

There's my three cheers for HIllary <----your spelling.

[houston_radical]

34. Learn what socialism is

this country IS socialistic.

In addition to the stuff like social security, Medicare, police departments, the military, etc.

there's the seemingly unlimited amounts of public dollars that go to private industry in the form of tax loopholes, offshore accounts, so-called free trade, loans, grants, etc.

that is the kind of corporate socialism that HRC supports too

[lewebley3]

35. American's no what it is: and they don't want it: They want Dem's

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

39. Well, you certainly don't "no" what it is.

[houston_radical]

36. Most means > 50%

basic math

[lewebley3]

48. Basic math Hilllary is the leader amoung Dem's:

[brooklynite]

7. So you're open to Blue Dogs then?

You claim the House and Senate can be flipped; have you looked at the current candidates, and do they meet your exacting political standards? And if not, how are you going to replace them with so little time left?

[daleanime]

16. Status quo, status quo......

yeah status quo.

[PatrynXX]

20. Blue Dogs, Conservadems Hillary Clinton

all the same...

[artislife]

37. Yup nt

[stevenleser]

58. They don't understand what you wrote. They responded, but they don't understand.

Shame really, but it's what I expected from Sanders supporters.

They willfully reject any fact or reality that is not to their liking and operate as if they don't matter.

But they do.

[Thinkingabout]

9. Why does he vote with the NRA and continues to vote to keep F-35 going, how is this happening?

He must be scared.

[beam me up scottie]

22. *cough cluster bombs, Iraq war, likes hunting, wants to sell F-35's to Israel cough*

She must be scared.

[sheshe2]

49. Sanders/ Vermont/ F-35......../ Hypocrite. nt

[beam me up scottie]

50. Nope, not my claim, not my hypocrisy sheshe. Not Good Enuff!!1!

[sheshe2]

51. Actually I was calling Bernie a hypocrite...

He loves the F-35's. Vermont manufactures them. It is great for his state. $$$$

[beam me up scottie]

52. How does that make him a hypocrite? Do you still believe the meme that he's a pacifist?

[sheshe2]

53. I believe he used the term CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR.

Do I believe he is a pacifist? His words prove that wrong. He was a CO because he didn't want to be sent to war. Yet he stated recently that he would send others if need be and would continue the use of drones. I don't think you all can have it both ways.

[beam me up scottie]

54. What? He opposed the Vietnam war, not all wars.

No one is trying to have it both ways, he's not a pacifist, he believes military force should be used as a last resort.

In Iraq it wasn't.

[sheshe2]

55. Ok. nt

[HerbChestnut]

10. Great post, tecelote.

[Dont call me Shirley]

11. Living, thriving must become priority. Killing, misery-causing for profit must cease to exist. Now!

[tecelote]

13. America's "War for Profit" bothers me the most.

Why else are we at war?

[Dont call me Shirley]

24. The entire world's war profiteers are to blame for the earth's misery. Shame Shame Shame to them

[dreamnightwind]

42. We have to fight them over there so...

so we don't have to pay for their oil at their prices over here. Or something like that, it's more about profits for oil co's, and for keeping the fossil fuel spickets flowing, than about keeping prices down.

Solar, wind, ag reform to reduce greenhouse gasses, bring the military home and launch a massive energy retooling program to fight climate change. We are part of the problem in the middle east, not part of the solution, and it's costing us a fortune and our planet's future. Enough.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

18. Like I have said before.

Now is the time for a real progressive populist movement, but the message needs to be clear and not overly complex and it needs to be repeated over and over to drive it home into the minds of the people.

Then Bernie will win.

[tecelote]

21. Bernie has been on message from day one.

He has the same message as when he was Mayor.

Similar to what you said, if the average American can understand it, they will see it is in their best interest.

[Plucketeer]

23. In THIS race you can forget

who has voted for what while in office. The ONLY thing to note and track is WHO is getting their money from WHOM. That's it! No gender, no color, no religious inclination, nada...... Just who is putting up the money and what might they expect from the recipient once they achieve office? It's as easy as pouring water out of a boot!

[Jack Rabbit]

25. K/R

America is not a mere republic. It is a democracy.

[liberal_at_heart]

45. I'm feeling a little disheartened right now but I will not give up the fight.

I found out last night I will most likely have to participate in a caucus in order to vote for Bernie. Caucuses can be horrible experiences. You don't have a secret ballot, and other people get to try and bully you into voting for their candidate instead of the candidate you want to vote for. I am willing to go through it in order to vote for Bernie, but I think we are going to have to come up with a game plan if we want to convince people who already don't vote to be willing to go through such an abusive process in order to get a higher voter turnout.

[Enthusiast]

56. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch! We have to get this done!

[img][/img]

[riderinthestorm]

57. People over war. People over profit. I love that!

I am deeply troubled by Hillary Clinton's pledge to remain involved in Libya and the ME.

No more!!

Great post and if this truly Bernie Sanders ' battle cry, then its persuasive for those like me who believe our foreign policy has been a disaster

[stevenleser]

60. ... Berned out. Nt
