[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saw a clip of a Sanders rally yesterday. 
He said something about people want to know HOW we will do everything I have proposed. 
His response - the people will demand it. 
Sure. 
Once again, details lacking.  
It will be a HUGE revolution.  [/quote]

Well, that's the truth.  He's calling for things that require constituents demand and hold their elected representatives accountable. Without it, nonthing's going to happen.  Voters are taking a risk. But I guess it's a risk worth taking.[/quote]

It's something that HAS to happen regardless of who gets into the White House.  We have a Congress that is seriously fucked.  We need fresh blood in Congress or it will be a disaster regardless of who occupies the Oval Office.[/quote]

The type of "revolution" that Sanders is calling for needs to start at the state and local level and then in Congress (it's too bad he never got it started during his time there). The idea that making Bernie president will create this change is laughable. if anything, his presidency will just harden constituents support of  republican incumbents much like Obama has or Hillary would. The difference is that Hillary and Obama don't pretend like they can make sweeping changes without Congress. [/quote]
Actually the opposite is true.  Obama and Hillary both pretend they can make changes with Congress.  Obama harshly learned the lesson that he could not make sweeping changes with Congress.  Hillary unfortunately is making the same mistake Obama did, pretending/thinking she can make sweeping changes with Congress.  Sanders is the only one not pretending, the only one being truthful, the only one bold enough to go against the establishment, the only one admitting you cannot make sweeping changes with Congress.  Sanders is the only one calling for a change in Congress so that sweeping changes can actually occur.[/quote]
