In reply to the discussion: Hillary needs to dismantle Sanders' fantasies, but how, without losing the dreamers. [View all]DonCoquixote
(13,616 posts)that at everyone of these events, there were people saying that change was not practical. Yes, none of those took magic pixie dust, and I have no illusions about how ugly and nasty it will be to get the nation back where it should be, but when the finger waggers and naysayers are there to kill the dream before it could even start to grow, then we will have sentenced ourselves to tragedy. And, let's be honest, part of the reason that the finger waggers and self-appointed realists are screaming so loudly is NOT because they have a sure lock on things, but we are at the point where so much of their punditry has been proven horribly wrong. They are afraid that the native will stop throwing virgins into the volcano and will start throwing the shamans in, and yes, that includes Pal Krugman aka "it was pragmatic of me to fight Obama tooth and nail from the left, but now I have to move to the right so Hillary will finally make me treasurer."
