Nov 2015

was that as a collective, we all agree that any Democratic candidate is much better for America then anyone of the rightwingers. Therefore why would the collective not follow the path of least resistance and gather behind the candidate that shows momentum, pulls massive enthusiasm and support at their rallies, and speaks out in a generational way against the system which is rigged in favor of the very rich. The end result is that in order to promote a flawed candidate that blows in the wind of political polling and is beholden to the same interests that we all agree are the problem in this country flies in the face of logic and really only results in tamping down enthusiasm and support, how can we possible win? Are the power masters actually betting that we all are eventually just going to throw out our convictions and support who they say we must?
