2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I feel the need to say something. [View all]Iwillnevergiveup
(9,298 posts)Bernie's slow but steady rise over the past 9 months reminded me of a winter Dean meetup at a Marie Calendar's restaurant in Pasadena. We were about 20 "screamers" hand-writing letters to Iowa voters. Toward the end, the host gave us the news that Dean had gotten Al Gore's endorsement. We were all ecstatic, and believed he would win.
Of course, this was before cell phones, FaceBook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. I now believe that Bernie owns all the new technology. It's not just Milenials who communicate widely, it's (relatively) old fogies like me. I think those of us with a passion and a history for supporting true Democratic principals will also rise up to implement the changes Bernie espouses. Your post reinforces that belief for me, and I thank you for it.
