(5,610 posts)That is why I wholeheartedly believe that IF the majority of Americans will work together and elect a Proven Progressive as POTUS, who fights hard for economic (and other) justice. A politician who has repeatedly proven his willingness and dedication to
" address the corporate megalomaniacs who've usurped our media, our politics AND our global economy; we will have taken the first crucial step towards changing this reality.
I realize that "party first" zealots reject Senator Bernie Sanders, mainly due to his "pedigree."
It will take a willingness to be open-minded. Not a "spoiler" mentality, which IMO is a corporatist ideology meant to scare us,
just like most of their declarations are. I KNOW how important it is to be able to replace justices in the SCOTUS as the old ones leave.
IMO, there is no other politician who has proven his/her willingness to fight TPTB for average Americans.
If this happens, America will usher in a "New Deal" era of the magnitude of FDR. Hopefully, like Reagan, we can have a bloodless coup
in the opposite direction.
It will be a fight, especially among party purists. It is a fight that I welcome.
The naysayers are legion and this post may be deleted, in actuality I am attempting to return our country to the values and pro-people
days of the Democratic party's best period.
The letter behind someone's name no longer indicates how they will govern. Their track record over decades, is the best indicator. Along with Senator Sanders continued outspokenness for the people, his long term actions speak for themselves.
