Reply #122: It's a "strategy"

that found him, NOT one he and Trippi consciously adopted from the beginning. MeetUps found them; the people found them. They -- smart, savvy, willing to SHARE power -- allowed and then facilitated that. This IS the great grassroots campaign of the modern era. Far more than that, though, it is a revolution in the political process.

We on DU have for so long decried:
* politicians who don't listen TO us
* politicians who won't stand up FOR us
* politicians who don't do and say the RIGHT thing over the politically expedient thing
* politicians who go along to get along
* politicians who are bought and paid for by corporate interests

and now that we've got someone who does exactly what we've been begging and crying and pleading and hoping and wishing for, too many of us here at DU can't even recognize it.

I don't get it.
