(30,099 posts)I tend to look at our approach as somewhat backwards. No doubt, the elephant in the
room for a long time has been undue influence through lobby money. One of the aspects
of Bernie Sanders I appreciate is that he speaks to that issue all the time..like a broken record. When
you connect the dots, as he does so well, you see a pattern language and it becomes
less difficult to answer why we have so many ills before us as a society.
The part I see as rather backwards, is waiting for anyone in particular to support us..I feel
the people need a platform of their own..this is what we expect, our objectives, our goals,
and only then does the individual become vetted for the position..we always seem to be
desperate to concede to someone else..who might give us what we want.
I work as hard as I can on the local level where I live too..it is essential to get
support from like minded and those who are on the fence..so many voters are
overwhelmed and do not feel they have any power to make a change.
Best regards,
