(6,829 posts)that republicans are never on THEIR side. The one common cause, and the leader both sides have in common, is Bernie Sanders and his "road show." I hate calling it that, but he's getting the word out and his rallies are always full and overflowing. They bring together both the Right and the Left in common cause... against the corporate overlords. WHY is no one younger picking up on his energy and his causes and running with them for the current time? I know AOC has been instrumental in his rallies. But I don't know of anyone else. And I adore AOC... who she is, where she comes from, how she puts herself out there. But I'm also cynical about Americans; they will never accept a woman as a true leader of anything important to them. I hate it; I detest the misogyny. I really wanted to see a strong female president before I die. But stupid Americans being who they are, I will accept a man who can keep his pants zipped and who has the fire and fervor of righteousness like Bernie. Or have ALL the younger ones been too steeped in the "New Way", "Third Wave" "Centrist" democratic philosophy... to the point they forgot the fire and quiet anger of FDR? Or the fire and brimstone of LBJ?
