2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: American Revolution (Phase Two) [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)13. Well Stated....We Forge On...!
We understand that, due to the unexpected strength of Bernie Sanderss campaign, something that no Team Clinton supporter anticipated, that we are now confronted not only by the establishment of our own political party, but by the full force of the machine that was intent upon making Bush vs. Clinton the main event in 2016. That isnt going to happen, now, is it?
The Sanders revolution is in the tradition of the patriots in the Revolutionary War. Our struggle is in the spirit of that Declaration of Independence. We really do not identify our friends who are Loyalists to the establishments crown as our enemies. You are good and sincere people .but you are confused. You are frightened, and seek the comfort and security that the establishment promises to those who behave as prescribed by the crown.
Our side is only warming up for battle.
