Bernie Is Not The Answer - Sorry

88. This is what the Party elites of both parties & their puppet masters don't get

I posted a tweet with a graphic of the book, "The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations," noting that Bernie's campaign supports the thesis of the book. We have organized around Bernie without much direction from Bernie. Thus, we can continue with or without Bernie. It would be better with Bernie, but we have successfully organized around big ideas and a vision of the country that we want. If Bernie become president, we can use our passion and self-creating organizations to hold elected officials' feet to the fire. All the money in the world can not overcome self-organizing activists. If Hillary (God forbid) we can hold her feet to the fire and then get a real progressive, such as Liz Warren elected in 2020.

This is the revolution. We have seen the cheating, the media blackouts, the deluge of money and we are better prepared to overcome these next time when we can get real liberals elected to local, state, and federal offices. We have worked against our own Party thus far and we have found that we can win and win big. We will need to get our people elected to local and state Democratic Party offices so we have better control intwo and then four years.

The party is over. We have long memories. And we will win in the end because we jave had enough!
