I want to thank YOU all for the Patriotism we have shown supporting Sanders (2000th post, 90th day)

Dear fellow Sanders supporters,

I want to send a heartfelt thank to you all for joining with me in supporting Bernie. I know that you are Patriots here, and I mean that in the sincerest way possible. We understand that a political system without real choice by the people for who is the leader of our country is by definition corrupt.

I have learned so much about the corruption endemic to our politics and governance, and I express my heartfelt gratitude to those who have been around the block already. I watch "America" every day, often multiple times, and I cannot help but feel the love of country that so many of us have. It is inspiring and humbling. Thank you for joining the movement with me. It won't end with Bernie, whether we prevail in this primary contest or not. I'll be voting and donating for a progressive liberal vision for the rest of my life. I'm a millennial in the middle of my first primary contest as a voting adult and I am heartbroken at the direction of our country; this is my chance to say "I now understand the system, and stand against corruption and the establishment elite".

A special thanks to CoffeeCat for her kind words and informative updates on the ground game in Iowa. Thanks to Uncle Joe for a steady voice in the fever-pitched environment that is GD-P. Thank you to merrily and cali for just being you! And beam me up scottie, always a passionate voice. And I almost forgot Armstead, whose insights always are well received. You are all amazing, and I hope to be half as witty as you all are some day.

With warm wishes,
"JonLeibowitz"

P.S. stay warm and safe, all you out there in the east.

1. Milestone - You bring nice, intuitive, and thoughtful discourse, in a balanced manner.

.


Congratulations on meeting the 2K milestone.

I do enjoy reading your posts as they provide insight that I am generally only seeing at the university level now.


Researched and cogent posts, unlike many of the muckraking or slanderous posts that I find myself sifting through.


Keep up the good work.


(PS. As a primary candidate neutral, but staunch Democrat, I embrace nice posts from all campaign sides.)

5. Thank you, that is very kind of you to say.

I respect your mindful neutrality; I hope you consider picking a candidate eventually, as your primary/caucus date approaches. Turnout is important to see what Americans really want for the future of our party and our country.

I hope that you will choose Bernie, but respect there are valid reasons for others, especially O'Malley. Always willing to have a friendly conversation to help you make a pick.

6. Congrats Jon, you're certainly doing your part.

And thank god for this quote. I hope more people wake up and realize what our party should stand for instead of what the establishment tells us it does. If they would, we could change the system and our world.

"I now understand the system, and stand against corruption and the establishment elite".

We don't have to support corruption and greed. And sometimes it's better to fight the enemy you know than the friend you don't. Thanks, and keep rocking the boat.
