Ever hear music you had not heard before that changed your appreciation of music?...

and maybe changed the way you saw some things...or felt something on an emotional level that other music had not triggered?

consider this: the fact that many people have not heard Bernie Sanders, not heard OF Bernie Sanders until recently, has no immediate bearing on what they will begin to consider when making their choices in the upcoming elections...

when they hear what Bernie has to say he will either strike a chord within them or not...it is my belief that his message will be music to the fundamental soul of what most Americans think this country is truly about...and why it is not that way these days...and what needs to be done to get this country back on track for the long-lost and under-siege 'common good'....

against the odds, the machine(s), the money, the lack of exposure...his message will get spread as things go along...and all the bullshit that the pundits and operatives throw at Bernie will be become more and more diminished in effect as more and more people hear the message...

not some Pied Piper tune, either....Bernie's message can be that music that awakens that deep feeling within most Americans that we can all at least try to shake off the stranglehold the corporations and ultra-rich have on us...

on DU we are all preaching to the choir...give Bernie some time and there will be millions in the choir
