Hello fellow Bernie Supporters.
Today is a monumental day. I'm certain you all are aware of that. There are plenty of threads abound that are intended to keep our perspectives in line. To let us know that this is only the beginning.
Truer words have never been typed and I agree with all of them! You don't need to win Super Tuesday to win the race as a whole, Bernie knows that and that's why he's executing a strategy for the swing states.
That said, the states in which Bernie has a chance of winning today are as follows: Colorado, Minnesota, Massachusetts and Oklahoma, Vermont and Virginia.
So while we keep our eyes on the prize, let us think of those of us that are out there voting for Bernie today and wish them luck!
I want to take a moment to mention a couple of things that we should be HIGHLY PROUD OF, no matter what the outcome is of this entire thing. We, along with Bernie have changed American politics forever. It's true. Let's look at what has changed.
2. We have proven, and removed the long standing stigma that "Socialism" is a taboo word. I don't care that there are people out there that are still afraid of it. Some will go to their graves afraid of a misunderstood word, but the fact is, a Democratic Socialist has won in this race. He has a following that's willing to dish out as much effort as anyone else. He has a turnout that goes above and beyond the average.
3. The Occupy Movement has been reborn. And it's not going to fade again. Bernie has sent out a message that has brought in millions of people to the Occupy movement without them even knowing it. There are thousands that were apart of the movement originally, but now, and possibly without knowing it, there are millions more telling Wall St, "YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL."
These 3 items are just the biggest things I can think of at the moment. We have done SO much in so little time. Should we win, imagine how much more we'll be able to do. And should we lose, know that our flame will never go out again! Win or lose... I see something big happening. Very big.
