(10,622 posts)His tactic is for a political revolution, that does not mean "bloody" hence the word political.
Such a revolution is possible, and counts on a long term solution as well as a shorter term one of electing better representatives and not disbanding the coalition he is building once in office, but rather asking them to continue by constantly putting pressure on all the bought politicians that stand in the way of everything but moving money upwards.
All your points have been covered more than once, join the revolution and help us fight. No one expects to win every battle, but nothing will be won via acquiescence and nihilistic quietism.
It is strange to me that you do not see among his supporters any plans of waging a revolution, even before this one has started his supporters are already working on replacing Debbie Wassermann Schultz. Also I hear a great deal of talk that the time for revolution is now and those saying that have plans to continue long beyond the Presidential race, it is a matter of not being timid. Embrace the part of yourself that will commit to the revolution at hand rather than waiting for anyther because you doubt the reality of the one before your eyes.
You yourself said, " As a radical leftist, I'm happy to join the revolution when it comes." well it is here!! so live up to your words!
If your error is that you expect only blood would prove a revolution then you lack the understanding that a bloodless revolution is the only one that could work, one involving blood would only lead to the suspension of all our civil liberties, one that would likely end up permanent.
