Entering Philadelphia

[H2O Man]

27. Interesting.

I believe that Philadelphia is important, in that it provides the progressive movement a unique opportunity to display the power of non-violence. I am convinced that our opposition -- and in this case, I am not speaking of the Clinton campaign, but those who benefit from having people like Hillary or Jeb Bush in the Oval Office -- will seek to disrupt a display of non-violent power.

Regardless of which candidate the convention selects for the nomination, the Sanders revolution will need to step it up, and increase our activities. This, too, will be a cause for concern on our opposition's part. The more effective we are, the more intense their reaction will be.

Non-violence requires that, as individuals, we take responsibility for our own thoughts and actions. We are not responsible for the reactions of the opposition. Only our response to them. And I am convinced that, though we may pay a steep price, we have the ability, through non-violence, to transform this country.
