As I said before on this blog, Bernie Sanders is a big deal. Mainstream Media types who dismissed him are now stunned to see him surging in the polls in Iowa and New Hampshire. Is it because people love Sanders or are simply tired of Hillary's same old same old? Both? don't know. Never the less, Hillary is clearly getting nervous. And Hillaryites think they have got themselves an ax to beat down Sanders supporters.....Ralph Nader caused Gore to lose the election in 2000. Voting for Sanders 16 years later is just like voting for Nader. So all voting for Sanders is going to do is cause Hillary to lose to a GOP Neanderthal. I am hearing this constantly. With all due respect, this is total claptrap.
First of all by blaming Nader you are ignoring 1) the butterfly ballot 2) Jeb purging from the voting rolls tens of thousands of minority "felons" 3) The horrible Supreme Court decision 4) the media's obsession with "rather having a beer with" Bush, Finally 5) Al Gore ran a horrible campaign which got outhustled in extra innings in Florida.
We cannot be content with the status quo when it is killing us. We must have the courage to change, even if it means taking risks. The planet and humanity need us NOW. It will only change if we act on our hopes and dreams, not just our fears.
