"No more dynasties"--for women, that is

[Ken Burch]

191. The defining spirit of the Sanders campaign was a belief in the need for transformational change-

a conviction that tinkering around the edges wouldn't solve any of our problems.

It was about making the impossible possible-which is what movements for change have always been about.

Not hatred of women.

And remember, it was later shown that a lot of the so-called "bros"-not all, but a lot of them-were actually right-wing trolls who showed up here and other places in Cyberstan just to stir up shit.

BTW...do you honestly believe that there was no online ugliness among HRC supporters? You don't remember the red-baiting? the veiled and not-so-veiled antisemitism(thread titles that used the phrase "socialist Jew" can't be called anything other than antisemitic).

I want to move PAST the primaries.

To do that, we need to stop perpetuating the artificial division between HRC/Obama people and Sanders people. Let's just be people-and let's work together on what we agree on.

Let's support social justice AND economic justice-two sets of issues that are distinct, but were never actually in conflict with each other. We ALL need a society free of bigotry and we ALL need a society that isn't dominated by greed and increased concentration of wealth in the hands of a few). We need a party of change and a movement for change-from-below.

Can't we just move forward on THAT basis?
