A Message To Those Democrats That Would Give Up

To those who say Sander's plan is too bold, that we can't do it, that it'll never pass, please hear the following words of encouragement, from our good Liberal friends, Simon and Garfunkel:

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would
If I could, I surely would
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail.
Yes I would
If I only could, I surely would.

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world
Its saddest sound, its saddest sound

I'd rather be a forest than a street.
Yes I would
If I could, I surely would.
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would
If I only could, I surely would




We've accomplished so much so far. Why give up now? It takes time. It takes voices. It takes people working together. Don't place a ceiling on what can be done. Break through it instead. Don't give into the naysayers. Don't be a naysayer. Be the swallow, be the hammer, be the swan, be the forest.
