Obama For America Was Revolutionary In Its Time

[berni_mccoy]

Obama created a massive grass roots movement that was an historic achievement that propelled him to win the 2008 Election. It gathered more individual donors with an overall massive haul in election campaign funding. But it was more than money. It was a revolution. And when Obama completed his second term, the organization became an issues driven organization called Organizing for America.

You have to ask who has modeled their campaigns after one of the most revolutionary and democratic organizations ever to exist? Was it Clinton in 2016? Is it Biden in 2018?

No. It’s Sanders. And he started in 2016. His movement has grown and empowered young volunteers nationwide since then. And it’s coming to its fruition as the next revolution in Presidential campaigns. It has lead to historic achievements where Sanders is the first in history to Win the popular vote in Iowa, the NH Primary and the NV Primary.

And if you want to talk about money, if you eliminate the two self-funding Billionaries, Sander’s haul in his campaign is dwarfing the other candidates with 26m gained since Jan of this year.. The closest is Elizabeth Warren with 11m gained since Jan. If you combine all the other remaining candidates, they don’t add up to Bernie’s take (20m total since Jan combined for Buttigieg, Biden and Klobuchar).

Sanders movement has moved to the masses. It is supported by the people. And the people are speaking. They want a hard turn left like Warren or Bernie. Establishment candidates and Moderates are not the choice this time. That’s just the way it is.
