There were thousands, upon thousands of us, trying to wrestle our government back from the few who spend millions upon millions to keep government in their hands for the benefit of the tiniest fraction of wealthy.

This ain't over!

This country has desperately needed a solid lurch to the left for several decades. Bernie got the ball rolling. Now we need to pressure whatever Dems get elected to continue the move to the left.

I voted Bernie in the primary, and support his efforts, and I'm sorry he didn't win. But I still won't vote for any RW/libertarian or a nut job like Trump.

We will hopefully get Dems in office, and we'll have to hold some feet to the fire, unlike in 2012/14, when apparently everybody thought the job was done and went home. We'll need a similar effort in the mid-terms this go-around.

but I rarely do. It's certainly not humor. Also, paragraphs help.

Sanders played the fundraising game/arms race, and nearly won. If he'd been a Dem prior to declaring his candidacy, I think he'd have won.

For the comfort. We ve all been driven by our core values and beliefs.

I may yet evolve but I can not abandon what i truely believe in.
