Well…it has been an interesting time since Bernie Sanders announced he was running for president and the momentum he has gotten is truly remarkable….the press has even named it “Bernimentum” when they describe it. While this is just another shallow attempt by the press to be funny, the momentum is real, as evidenced by the 10,000 people who showed up to see him in Madison the other day and the thousands who turned out in Iowa…and the three times his visit to Portland, Maine has be moved to larger venues. One of the reasons that I see this happening is that he has ideas to pull the country back from the oligarchy that is running it now and to make the middle class and how they are getting screwed the centerpiece of his campaign. The cool thing is that he truly believes this stuff…and has been consistent throughout his political career on these issues….that is the thing about us on the left, we want talk about issues and their solutions while the right just parrots crap from the Heritage Institute and the Koch brothers….this is a good thing for our side…people are tiring of the tax cuts for the rich nonsense that is the only solution that the right can come up with it…and that doesn’t work…could be a fun year….
