Sanders is changing America

[Attorney in Texas]

Link to Politico analysis; excerpt:

Sanders has proudly not backed down from the “socialist” label, and in doing so forced the most leftist political discussion in modern times.... Sanders appeals to what used to be known as the “Occupy Wall Street” crowd, especially mostly middle-class citizens, who believe America is being taken over by Wall Street and other pernicious traditional powers. ... Sanders supporters voice opinions that yesterday they may have been unsure of or publically afraid to knowledge for fear of being alone and called a “socialist."

1. It's called 'preaching to the choir.' nt

2. You're right, assuming the 'choir' you refer is a majority of the American people. It's been a long

time since the American people had someone they could trust to represent THEM and according to every poll on the issues, on those issues that are most important to THEM, rather than politicians who speak for Corporations.

That 'choir' has been struggling to be heard for a long time. NOW they have a powerful voice using that megaphone he has, doing it for them and they are flocking to him to show their appreciation.

Thanks Bernie, from a member of the choir!

3. Bernie is currently beating Hillary in all 50 states, remember?

He should have no problem winning the Democratic nomination.

5. Lol! Hillary supporters don't know how to clickity click! I remember!

See the latest Quinniapic poll? Maybe I'll post it when I get a chance.

I guess Hillary's supporters don't respond NOW to 'scientific polls'???

I am psyched, especially by posts such as yours!

6. If it's so easy to do what Bernie Sanders has done

...campaign as a socialist for the Democratic nomination, get a million donors, then why wasn't it done before?

4. Nail on head --> Sanders is ALREADY changing America,

in all the right ways, and is willing to continue changing America to insure we have
"a future we can believe in", if we will only come together and elect him to the White
House.

7. That article paints Sanders' beliefs as fringe, yet apparently the author doesn't remember..

what happened about 7 years ago, that little thing called the Financial Crisis of 2007-08.

9. The middle is now the fringe. There is no left...Bernie's policies are liked by most people

when polled individually. that puts his ideas right in the center

10. You got it. nt

11. Bingo!

12. Thanks for posting that Scuba. IMO, this is the real poll that matters. It's not about left, right

middle, it's about what most people think. How many people are gonna go into the polling booth and pick Bernie
just because? I'm feeling like it will be more than anyone expected.
