Because we're not putting all our hopes and dreams on "Santa Claus". Far from it. Far less than those who say Hillary can work with a Republican Congress. What a horrific idea, the damage they could do, colluding together on more things that would disintegrate the Middle Class.

No, we're supporting someone who says. "When we stand together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish".

He's right, you know. We have enough people believing the right things that if they only stood together there is so much we could do. And I don't get any idea that Bernie thinks he can either compromise or ramrod things through without the support of a large amount of people. Nor would he necessarily choose to try.

What is clear is this is partly a movement of faith. If you have faith, who knows how far you can go. Doesn't mean you are going to win everything, but so much more likely (I think we may agree) if you try. If you don't have faith and if you don't try, then I think you have already lost the battle.
