Bernie Sanders

(5,632 posts)There really is. And Sanders is delivering. He is talking about problems that affect the majority of Americans. And he is pointing out the general direction in which we may find solutions. And people want that. They need it.
And Sanders is re-introducing the nation to what was once accepted wisdom: We are stronger when we stand and work together. Solidarity. We heard that before but this guy really means it, and won't get talked out of it.
Of course, there are those who really, really don't want that notion being spread around over much. But the idea is catching on. And that is part of what has the corporate punditocracy and 3rd Way types freaking out a little bit.
All this gives me hopes.
I just want Bernie Sanders to invest in some really good body guards. (But then, I have a nasty, dirty, suspicious kind of mind.)
