(1,250 posts)If what I said is so devastating they won't be hearing me anyway.
They would be already in the tank for Hillary.
They think more of that kind of politics is the right thing to do.
It's time to make a break from that structure.
Not tomorrow. TODAY.
All of my life I have seen an ineffective cowardly WEAK Democratic Party.
I'm tired of seeing it.
Obama was supposed to transform this party but he didn't do it.
But for damn sure Bernie's gonna do it.
This man from day one said "I am a Socialist" & didn't flinch.
That's the kinda guy who's gonna take this party to new heights.
We'll kill all that wimpy Third Way triangulation scared-ass compromising bullshit.
The Democratic Party will start to speak with some BASS in their voice.
They're not gonna stutter when they advocate for their plans.
I want Bernie to ABSOLUTELY transform this pathetic party.
And not just nationally.
I want to see state-level & regional shifts as well.
Those hanging on to the old ways will wash out with those old ways.
A new breed is coming to takeover.
One that dares to dream BIG & go BIG.
One that has the guts to dare the opposition to oppose them.
One that has bite with its bark.
When I see Nina Turner speak I see that kind of power waiting to be unleashed.
That's the kind of people Bernie's Democratic Party will have all across the board.
If the Black Vote can't see this reality, we're ALREADY lost.
