Bernie Sanders

(15,435 posts)Had to go out to dinner with my family this evening and as usual I talk my talk about politics and Bernie. To my surprise I've begun to see a shift from what they ALL told me not so long ago that YES, he's what we need, but "He Can't Win!" I kept telling them that I believed he could. I also told them that even if HE didn't win, that the winds of change are blowing!
It's my Grandson's birthday tomorrow and we'll all be together again, but even more people will be there. I can't wait to take my PC over there and SHOW them what's happening!
I'm constantly attacked for pushing and prodding everyone to get involved, make sure they vote and any times I frustrate them with what's in my head. BUT, they also frustrate me because I keep telling them that UNLESS they get off their butts and try to make a difference NOTHING will change.
I'm so happy to come home to see all these positive posts! I live in FL and it's REALLY THE PITS, but I'm seeing movement even here in my very Red County! Groups are being formed for Bernie for rallies, phone banking, registrations of voters and more activity than I've seen in years! This is one of the 3 highest per capita income counties in this state. Katherine Harris was elected as my Representative for 2 terms, so this is a BIG DEAL!
I always have to add, that my family isn't part of the wealthy people who live here, just plain folks trying to get by. I see things happening, don't know how it will turn out... BUT IT IS CHANGE that I'm seeing!
