Pictured below: Political Revolution

[NuclearDem]

Not pictured: Sitting at home on Reddit, sending in $27 through Paypal, and then not being bothered to show up and vote. For this, see: Revolution (American brand name).

[Broward]

1. One thing's for sure, we can't count on Hillary and her conservative backers to be at the forefront

of any positive revolutionary change. If anything, they'd be on the other side pushing back.

[NuclearDem]

2. And that matters, because I've said Hillary Clinton would be a revolutionary president.

Oh wait, I haven't.

[Broward]

6. Fine, we both accept that she woudn't be a revolutionary president.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

3. my keyboard is stronger than your sad attempt at comparison.

And i always vote

[NuclearDem]

7. I'm glad you vote.

However, I'm not the one that attached the term revolution to the Sanders campaign.

I just thought I'd remind people what a revolution actually looks like.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

21. "political revolution"

Doesn't have to be violent. But you know that.

[NuclearDem]

23. None of the events I depicted were violent.

My point is that revolution is a word not to be used lightly.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

26. i'm sorry, i thought i saw civil rights pictures up there.

[EffieBlack]

32. Why do you equate "civil rights pictures" with violence?

[nadinbrzezinski]

39. He or she did not, but you did

why is that?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

45. because people died for civil rights

Some were beat up at the very march the op posted a picture of

[EffieBlack]

62. So, unless every depiction of the civil rights movement includes pictures of violence

the depiction isn't accurate?

Okaaay ...

[sheshe2]

4. Great post NuclearDem!

Now that is what a Revolution looks like. It sure was not fought in a day.

Thank you.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. I do not remember you being very friendly to this

Or this



So excuse me while I laugh

[NuclearDem]

11. You may want to get your memory checked, then.

I wasn't among the group calling BLM "angry black lesbians" and "race naggers" and concern trolling how they were turning white people off from the movement.

So, excuse me while I laugh.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Why did you conveneintly forget this

Because the revolution did not stop at the Edmund Pettus bridge in the 1960s.

It is ongoing, and I happen to document it locally

?w=1000&h=&crop=1

So go tell me something I really need to know. I document this shit

Oh and here, from our protests over CC 182.5



You all seem to ignore this and call people names.

So again, excuse me while I truly laugh.

[NuclearDem]

17. The OP is not meant to be an exhaustive list of all such movements.

I supported BLM since day one, when they were protesting Sanders, when they were protesting O'Malley, when they were disrupting traffic, when they were protesting Clinton, when they were protesting Republicans, and when they were committing the horrible crime of hurting white progressives' feelings.

So, spare me your laughter.

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. So why did you presonally insult me

And you should have added photos of the present movement. I will add a few more for you

?w=1000&h=

?w=700&h=

?w=300&h=200

If you were thinking that some of us would not forget about the present, well, you miscalculated. And you can stuff your personal insults by the way.

[NuclearDem]

19. I corrected your faulty memory as far as my stances on OWS and BLM were concerned.

But hey, whatever you say.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. I will add more phtoos

?1439206685

?quality=75&strip=color&w=1100



And for somebody who supports the movement your oversight was curious

[PufPuf23]

36. +1000

Some folks have no shame.

[nadinbrzezinski]

38. I know, especially since I personally have thousands of photos

of these movements in San Diego

[CorkySt.Clair]

59. No one should ever doubt that after reading this thread

[nadinbrzezinski]

60. What that we do? We do.

We have taken at least 25k (since I killed a sensor already) a large number are of occupy, black lives matter. Union issues, fight for 15, city and county of San Diego. We run the best.

[RandySF]

27. It was the Bernie crowd that wanted BLM activists tazed.

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. actually you can pretend otherwise, but here from other fights currently going on

?w=300&h=199

?w=700&h=

?w=300&h=200



Here is a story you might want to read from yesterday... nope you will not see that much detail anywhere else

http://reportingsandiego.com/2016/03/24/janitors-carry-the-cross-and-have-feet-washed/



See, the premise that the OP started with is dead wrong. Just because CNN does not run it, does not mean it is not happening. It is roiling under the surface

And spare me the BS supporters are racist shtick.

[R B Garr]

70. Yeah, these same people were up in arms about BLM interrupting Bernie.

Now it's a different story.

[CorkySt.Clair]

8. Love it.

Thanks!

[JonLeibowitz]

9. I'll still vote despite your disgusting sentiments. Yes, in the general election too.

[George II]

10. Thanks. Great collection of iconic photographs. Sad that in 2016 "revolution" has been redefined.

[OutNow]

13. Excellent post

I would include some events from our history

the autoworkers sit-down strikes of the 1930s

the April 24, 1971 march on Washington by more than 1 million people to end the war in Vietnam

the UFW lettuce and grape boycott in the late 1960s and 70s

[NuclearDem]

15. The OP's not meant to be an exhaustive list of all such moments

But yes, I absolutely agree.

[H2O Man]

14. Recommended.

Thank you.

[beam me up scottie]

16. Translation: My guy lost and now I'm bitter because I have to settle for Hillary

And I will continue to insult Bernie supporters on DU because that will really motivate them to show up in November.

Good luck with that!

[NuclearDem]

22. I'm not bitter about Governor O'Malley losing.

I didn't anticipate him getting far in the primary. I sure didn't expect the end to come so soon, but I'm far from bitter about it.

As a bonus point, if your motivation to get out and vote in November is based on your personal feelings being taken care of, then I would like to thank you for making my point for me.

[beam me up scottie]

24. Well something caused you to be so hateful towards fellow liberals.

Maybe it's jealousy.

Either way, it's just more of what I've come to expect from those who despise Bernie and his followers, they can't see what they've become. But I don't hate in return, I feel sorry for people who spend all of their time tearing Bernie and his supporters down, especially when I used to respect them.

Feel better.

[NuclearDem]

25. No, not really.

Just a little tired of the "Che t-shirt sold at the Gap" brand that passes for "revolution" around here.

[beam me up scottie]

29. We call it expressing exuberance and excitement for a candidate and getting involved in Democracy.

But thanks for doing your level best to make sure voters are mocked and marginalized.

How democratic of you.

[EffieBlack]

35. ND doesn't sound hateful at all

Just stating a fact.

Unfortunately, some Bernie supporters think that anything short of "I'm feeling the bern because Bernie's so dreamy!" is an attack - funny thing since many of the same people call Hillary and her supporters the most hateful names and make the most despicable accusations and claim that they are just stating facts and offering a comparison.

Bottom line, the OP is dead on.

[beam me up scottie]

37. Lame strawman, we've been attacked since the day Bernie announced - and so was he.

What you see is the backlash against all of the vile things posted about Bernie and his supporters here.

The op hasn't been dead on in months, unless by dead on you meant enraged and lashing out against people because they enthusiastically support a different candidate.

HOW DARE WE SUPPORT BERNIE??? WHAT WERE WE THINKING???

PEOPLE MUST BE PUNISHED FOR THIS!!!

[leftofcool]

51. News flash! No one cares who you support.

[beam me up scottie]

52. Pfft. Tell that to the op who cared enough to insult us simply because of whom we support.

[NuclearDem]

54. I've never met "revolutionaries" with thinner skin.

You might want to let this go, because every post you've made here is just further proof that this political campaign doesn't belong anywhere remotely in the same category as the Baltic Way or the Salt March.

[beam me up scottie]

55. You're the one who should let it go, you're embarrassing yourself.

You ignored the revolutions that didn't fit your narrative, but those people don't count either I guess.

Like I said, can't see what you've become.

[NuclearDem]

57. I never said the OP was an exhaustive list of all movements.

But there are indeed a great deal more that deserve the title.

This campaign isn't one of them.

[beam me up scottie]

58. Just the ones that fit the narrative, the others don't count. We get it.

Really, it's been apparent for quite some time what you have against Bernie and his supporters.

You can stop now.

[NCTraveler]

66. No one should be insulted over this op.

Nadine was even kind enough to show Sanders hasn't even been the most influential element of this primary cycle. There are a number of things this primary season I would say have been more influential than Sanders as well.

That is a big point the op was making with respect to promoting the Sanders campaign as revolutionary.

[juxtaposed]

77. I care

[nadinbrzezinski]

40. So why did hte OP forget about the CURRENT struggles?

Oh wait, I think I know why... and it is not nice.

[beam me up scottie]

41. There is an ugly undercurrent in the hatred of Bernie.

And it's getting uglier all the time.

[nadinbrzezinski]

42. It is not just bernie

BLM did not endorse HRC, they did not endorse Bernie, though they do prefer his plans. Ergo, we conveniently suppress the present, It is ugly

It does not shock me or surprise me. I expected this, In fact, we are far from hitting bottom

[beam me up scottie]

44. Yes but his entering the race brought a lot of it out.

A good man who fought for us for decades and millions of supporters have been branded as racist, sexist and even compared to Nazis.

[nadinbrzezinski]

46. I know

I have been called all kinds of things as well, and so have you. And ironically I do not even support anybody openly in this race. My vote is my business.

As I said, we have yet to hit bottom.

[NuclearDem]

53. Given your track record, whatever you think it is

it's probably the exact opposite.

[nadinbrzezinski]

56. My track record?

It is not me who forgot about BLM, the Fight for 15 and the ever ongoing Union strubgles for for starters. Let me add a few more

?w=1000&h=

?w=1000&h=&crop=1

?w=1000&h=&crop=1

?w=346&h=230&crop=1







These are happening right now... wake up and smell the dang coffee m'kay

[EffieBlack]

72. After the same two 50 year-old photos from the Civil Rights Movement have been posted over and over

and anyone who asks what the guy in the photo has done to fight for civil rights since then is shouted down and accused of all manner of race baiting . . . NOW you're demanding that, in order for photographs to be taken seriously, they must be presented as part of a comprehensive, blow-by-blow photographic essay of the entire Civil Rights Movement from its beginnings through to this morning?

That's pretty rich . . .

[nadinbrzezinski]

73. I do love this example of what is wrong round these parts

so why do you hate black lives matter? Yes, I am that blunt

[EffieBlack]

75. If someone doesn't post photo of Black Lives Matter, they must hate it?

You haven't posted a photo from the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Why do you hate Rosa Parks?

[nadinbrzezinski]

76. Obtuse my "friend' is

and it must be on purpose.

[Cha]

69. And, you are dead on, too, Effie. Thank you!

[Thinkingabout]

28. K & R

[bravenak]

30. That's how I see it too

[EffieBlack]

31. Bingo!

"Sitting at home on Reddit, sending in $27 through Paypal, and then not being bothered to show up and vote. For this, see: Revolution (American brand name)"

[KingFlorez]

34. The word revolution is highly misused

[jillan]

43. There have been other political revolutions. Some are big, some are small. pictures below:

When people band together for a common cause to make change- they start out with one voice, and people soon join, and they grow over time.

Sometimes they start from a need:


Sometimes they start for equality:




Sometimes they are anti war:



Sometimes they are for humanity:



Sometimes they are to save the planet:



And sometimes they are the people demanding the government listen to the people:

And sometimes those people find a leader that speaks for them:


Revolutions come when there is a necessity for change. Some achieve that change slowly and some gather steam quickly...
but in the end they all make a difference.

[beam me up scottie]

48. ^THIS^ Why did the op forget about all of the OTHER important revolutions? Don't they count?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

50. Great post.

[GreenPartyVoter]

67. Cosign!

[Iliyah]

47. K & R

[leftofcool]

49. Now those are real revolutions!

[Squinch]

63. Kicking.

If you want a revolution, you're going to have to do a little more than name post offices and tack amendments onto bills that say that people shouldn't do things that are already illegal.

[Gwhittey]

64. Yea

You have to take legal bribes from Big Bank and Push the POTUS into invading a country.

[DemonGoddess]

65. Good points!

[Cha]

68. Mahalo NuclearDem~

[uponit7771]

71. So very true

[Vattel]

74. You don't get it
