Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumThe Political Revolution Is Alive and Well!
Despite the anti Bernie media narrative, the Establishment heavy finger on the scale for his opponent and all the election irregularities- too kind a word- Despite the theft of so many of our votes. We are still here!
Still standing up for $15 minimum wage, a woman's control of her body, standing up so that no one who works 40 hours a week lives in poverty. This movement says health care is a right for all Americans and our kids can go to college and come out without crushing debt.
I can send 15 bucks every time the Establishment tells me that these basic rights are "Quixote Dreams".
I can do that 180 times!
Just did it!
I am a delegate to my State convention. Sadly, it is Texas, but my County Travis Delegation went for Bernie!
Join me in support of Bernie! The West Coast awaits!

(15,646 posts)The revolution is on! Just made another $30 contribution a half hour ago myself.
I sometimes think that I can spend 8 bucks on a movie or a donation to the cause. I hit the donate button and take a healthy hike around the neighborhood and visit with my neighbors.
It feels so good to make a statement against the Putinesque invasion of the Trolls! The other side emulates Russia now! Imagine that behavior is what they chose to copy!

(13,595 posts)only being upset about voter suppression, when it's our guy being screwed. My reply was that the poster couldn't probably find one single Bernie supporter that hadn't been concerned about that for some time. The poster shot back that he /she knew many. I find that hard to believe.
One thing though, it didn't get me banned from their group. It sure as shit would have from the Hillary group!

(4,775 posts)We need it! Tough times for Bernie supporters.
I am wearing my Bernie shirt as I type, and will be working to get him votes here in California. I don't know if Bernie will win this state or not, I think it's unlikely, but the harder we work, the better he will do, and the more progress for the future we can plant the seeds for.
If I read your post right, you maxed out for Bernie? If so, that's amazing. Anyway keep it up, we'll do our part out here.
I have nothing but respect for red-state people who work for real progressive change. Jim Hightower has been travelling around with Bernie's campaign, picking up road-kill from the middle of the road.

I am not that tempermental! I just realized that the other crowd does the bulk of Bernie's fundraising for him by aggravating us so much with their lies and trolling. Every time it gets to me I smile and hit the donate button.
Been here a long time so some of it just blows over me, but it is so much worse this time than last with the election issues. That is a very sad thing for me to see the Dem Party involved in.

(4,775 posts)just to stay sane. We should have a Bernie supporter "ignore list exchange" party, I bet many of the lists would be very similar.

I want Indiana, Oregon, California and all future states to go ALL-IN for Bernie! Why the hell not? Make the queen non-viable in every state from here on out.
That's my hope.
PEACE
