Oh, prodigal Thirdwaywards, hear our call.
We come here to praise you, not to bury you.
All you have to do is embrace the revolution that is upon us, and all will be forgiven!
The reign of the 0.1% is dead! Long live the 99.9%!

(14,733 posts)Don't be trapped into thinking we cannot achieve big things any more, we cannot fight for our principles. Will we get everything we want? Certainly not. Will we get most of what we want? Of course not.
But we will get more than if we simply say we won't even try for anything big. Either way, any progress is going to be incremental, but how about we try for just a bit more by starting farther to the left when we try? Bernie's no messiah, no 'cult leader'. He's just going to start negotiations a bit farther to the left. And that's really not a bad thing.

(19,537 posts)Many will probably feel better RETURNING to the Republican Party where they came from. But even there it is hard to avoid populists.
The 1%ers may soon not have a party that supports them!
