2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Whether he succeeds or not in the coming months and perhaps years ahead, Bernie Sanders [View all]Samantha
(9,314 posts)will remain in our society while the bulk of his supporters continue to work for the goals he set out for us. Much has been done already that people do not realize.
300+ people are now running for elective office all over the Country on Bernie's platform. They are not taking corporate money to finance their elections. Additionally, when Bernie asked for a call for action for supporters sincerely interested in making a change to consider running for public office, approximately 7,000 people signed up at his website to get the information he was giving potential candidates to organize a campaign. This was just last week.
There is a political party getting up and running for the last year dedicated to the principle of removing from elected office those who represent the wealthy and corporate interests as opposed to the benefit of the people. They have a plan and they are implementing it as I type this post.
Bernie Sanders' fingerprints will be all over this society in changes we will see made slowly over the next few years. People who are now more aware of what they can do to change this country will step up to the plate and start doing.
I feel we owe Bernie Sanders so much for just showing people the way. He is an incredible politician and well as a great humanitarian.
