(2 posts)Sanders position is not about him, but about what he represents in the Democratic party. He is a return to the core values of what Democratic party people used to fight for, before they went "Centrist". He is about organization and hopefully he is not like Obama who upon ascending to the presidency, where he turned his back on his organization, Sanders is all in with organization. Democratic party voters and members are looking for long coat tails. The movement is about taking back the house and the Senate. It is all about encouraging new voters and keeping them voting. It is all about a "Democratic " movement not a Rebublic ideal where we elect and then hope they do what we want.
Organization begins at the local levels and state by state. He has that same momentum that would have allowed Obama in his first two years to have placed and enacted a progressive agenda, if he wanted to . He didn't and without a doubt, judging by her war hawkish, corporatist and Wall street activities of the past, she is the most perfect Republican to run for the Democratic nomination.
It is a simple choice, either we can or we can't! Sanders or Hillary. Hope, change or capitulation.
Look at their records , not their political words. Words are cheap. Sanders is inspiring the Democratic party because his actions are authentic, not triangulated.
