It's not just about putting Bernie in the White House. It's about much more!

27. I agree. Immobility is part of the shock response. Many remain more or less immobilized, but a force

has been awakened. A vital force that wants to fight back against those who would oppress us, and have successfully been doing so for decades at least. So long under the weight of the false Reagan ideas of economy, perpetuated by Republicans but also carried forward by all the various forms of "New Democrats".

It is great that Bernie's message, puncturing the widespread ideas of American exceptionalism with a good dose of realism, have spread so far and mobilized so many. It would be great if more people felt empowered by them, but obviously there are arguments around that the ideas are too large, too impossible, etc.

Still this lion has been awakened and given power and force and voice, and it is not going to go back into its cage all nicely, in my opinion.

And I am grateful that we are far enough away from the shock of events like 9-11 to be open to be actively fighting back, and that we have an individual to hold true to these same ideals and to carry them forward into office.
