Not about "good guys" or "bad guys"
I would never characterize HRC or her supporters as "the bad guys". You are Democrats, we are supposed to be on the same side. It has never been about candidates, it has always been about ideals. It has to do with who we are as a Party.
We decided, a long time ago, as a Party, to take on the mantle as the people that care about the poor, the middle class, the marginalized in our society. We are the party of the "the little guy".
It has been said so much it seems to have lost its meaning and impact but it is no less true, the vast majority of wealth is in fewer and fewer hands. According to a SSA report released just a couple of weeks ago, 53% of the total value of all wages in America is earned by just .08% (yes, point zero eight percent). That 51% of Americans now live on less than $30,000 a year. This has to matter. It impacts the for profit prison issue. Affordable education. Retirement with dignity. Healthcare. Housing. Employment. Research and development. Everything.
I am not ignorant of the "real world" or how things work or the current configuration of Congress. It is not out of ignorance that I refuse to accept the status quo or demand more from politicians that claim to represent my interest. It is because of it. The general public think better of cockroaches than they do of Congress (actual polling, not my opinion) yet we continue to want to "compromise" with them? We give all this attention, effort and money to presidential elections and all but ignore state, county and city elections. Well Democrats have, teapublicans have all but run the table on us there.
No, Bernie Sanders does not have all the answers.
No, Bernie Sanders cannot make all his proposals reality.
What he can do is move us in the right direction.
The rest, as it has always been, is up to us.
