252. Truth..

Thanks to Bernie's popularity and success, more and more candidates are publicly refusing corporate cash. Right there is just one of his many contributions to a discourse about the government representing people instead of corporations. Everything he said at that rally and all his rallies and appearances are the truth, and we all know it, and people are demanding change.

This isn't a rational conversation. It's flat out hate for Bernie Sanders and his supporters. He moved to Vermont.. how dare he? How can he possilbly advocate for all Americans as a Vermont resident? That's how absurd this has become; the demonizing and ridicule of Sanders and, by extension, those of us who support him, is just wrong.

"The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people." Martin Luther King, Jr.

But not the "good people" of Vermont and certainly not Bernie Sanders.. they better just shut up. Too many fine contributors to this board have chosen to leave over this. Bernie doesn't deserve it and neither do we.
