233. Part 2

There are other players in the game, with Democratic Concerns and Ideals...that are intricate to what is to be the future of America and how it gets there.
We first have to get back the Congress and the Presidency, and that is not going to happen based on the platform of Sanders, because its based on some Long Leaps and High Jumps... which is not feasible... when there is an entire nation of people that must be brought along.

We have segments of massive volumes of under-educated people, and we have segments of people who have been driven on a misdirection pathway for a very long time by Republican Agenda, and with that, not only is there a mass of under-educated, there is a mass of obstinate uneducated people... Sad to say, without the Democrat and Independent ranks, truth is we too have a mass of under-educated people, as well as uneducated people.

Therefore, we are bound to move only in a "Step by Step" basis. Within those Steps, we MUST concern ourselves with rudimentary things, such as "RE INVIGORATING CIVICS EDUCATION'S" within our Educational system and it must be done through out the entire system of education from K-12 to and through the system of higher education.

We have to ensure in our Professions, that Sociology and the true focus on and of "Ethics", is front in center in what is to be taught to any potential graduate from our Institutions which confer the label of professional by Degree upon individuals.

There is no room for Leaps and Jumps... but there is a determined need for a "Step by Step" procession into the future.

When I express frustration at Sanders, its not that some of his ideas are not good for long term future aspiration, its because he leads people to think... that we will "magically Leap and Jump", as a nation into a system of change as if some stroke of magic will happen, or as if he thinks he's Merlin the Magician. That is the dis-service he does unto his followers, to make them think he can pull of some Magic Trick. He has solid followers, but tell them the truth in realistic terms, and what a long term Ideal is and that it is only achieved by STEP by STEP.... and stop trying to convince them that he can do a "magic trick". He can't even do any of such Magic Tricks in Vermont !!!!! Certainly he could not do it across an Entire Nation. That's what Reality is, is to Realize what is Real....

Ideals of what a nation can become, is what this nation was founded upon, and it has been a Step by Step process. It takes "Faith in Steps" to bring Change to a nation.

Learn from Black peoples march over Centuries and Decades, never did the long history of black people give up on Freedom, even under the vile harshness of white society upon and against black people, but the march continued, and in doing so, it not only achieved the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but in doing so, it brought America to legally respect its own Constitution and legally to Respect the Dignity it had long claimed, but refused to live and support. Legally, the laws support "Equality", but now its a matter of continual steps to move it forward to support equality in the social sphere, and the economic and opportunity sphere. Every day we move closer, but its always "Step by Step".... At some stages the steps may quicken, and other times its like Stepping in Mud that slows the pace, but its still "Step by Step".

Why can't Sander's explain this simplicity to his followers, rather than trying to be the pied piper to make them think they can leap and jump and take wide skips to change something as massive and as diverse in many ways as is the Nation of America.

GO back and look at the work of LBJ, and the way he had to make Step by Step progress in how Civil Rights Acts were moved forward... First the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and THEN ... the Voting Rights Act of 1965... then look at the time line of Civil Right Acts...and the stages and steps of Social/Civic Justice of Civil Rights Moves.

We may well quicken our steps with the aid and usage of technology, but it still will not be done in Leaps and Jumps, it will be done in "Step by Step".

Radicalism of expecting leaps and jumps is an unstable means of movement, but Step by Step is surefooted movenments forward for a nation and its people.

As much as we detest the Madness of Trump trying to move us backwards and invoke processes that mirror the Confederacy's System of wealth domination and people subjugation's.... the benefit we get, at a high cost, is the exposure of the bigotry and racism, and demonstrations of ignorance and lack of education by a mass of people; which shows us, how much of a volume we have of backwards minded citizens in this nation. One can't Leap nor Jump past that. This exposure tells us the true need for greater Civics Education, as well as Sociological Educations to educated these types on what is the value and benefit of the Diversity, which has always been the integral part of American's greatness. The other benefit of Trump and Republican Vile that we are witnessing, is the level and extent of damage these types will invoke to try and recreate a madness of white dominance and control by the wealthy of the nation and its people.
Once its been exposed, it cannot hide itself in the future of where we are to work to move forward. It simply tells us, that the levels of "ignorance" that must be "educated is vast"... and the respect for the civil regard for the humanity of others, must be taught, and the social value of respect of and for diversity, must be focused upon and worked on to bring these people out of the vile of a 100 yrs of Jim Crow Groomed in Madness, that once dominated across this nation. That is done by a "Step by Step" process. It involves much, and that much includes all aspects of America Society and How it Functions.

Heck, this being a site claimed to be of and about Democrats, one can't even get the bulk of members here to talk about 'race", "racism" and the elements within it. One can't even get white members in bulk to step back and "self review" the nature and true realism's of white privilege, and certainly not to acknowledge the damages it has done over many centuries.
they run like one is being chased by a lion, when such subjects come up, or they get silent as if they are trying to hide from the sunlight of truths.
So, if its that difficult among people who claim themselves Democrats and race and racism as being something the Democratic Platform stands against, then one get only a glimpse of what it will take to get Right Wingers to deal with the subject in honest terms. This tells us, that we can only move in a "Step by Step" process, and not by Leaps and Jumps. because Racism was INTERWOVEN into EVERYTHING in America's Society for 100's of yrs, and during the 100 yrs of Jim Crow groomed white America, it was a part of the ideology of both Democrats and Republican White People, as well as Independent and certainly within the White Evangelical System, and this expanded to be a base of mentality in community, business and industrial mentality, as well as within the social nature of the generalized dissensions within our social system of life in America..

In this site, if one speaks of race and racism, and the need for white society to look at and review themselves in relation to what is white privilege, how it works and how to see it when its exhibited... people balk at it, and get anguished at the writer rather than to look at the point being discussed, and acts of deflection and denial and aims to spin and twist logic to avoid addressing the rawness of truths about what is "white privilege" and how it has damaged America, and certainly many have a groomed in cultural history that has taught them, not to review it, and in not to review, means also do all one can not to relinquish the want and embrace of white privilege. Such grooming has instilled in a great many, that any act of discarding the want and expectation of white privilege is to be considered as discrimination against them. Thus so, to embrace full circle equality, is then turned into a fiction of white people claiming they are discriminated against, because they have never seen equality as being anything but a ideals among white people with white people.

Now if all such things do not tell people... that our way forward is "Step by Step" and not Leaps and Jumps...then that will tell that Sanders need not lead his people with ideals that things will Leap and Jump.....
