Because Sanders is running Obama's "Believe" campaign from '08. <br /><br />Ever wonder what happened to OFA? All the hype and hope from the last time? It was never more than a bumper sticker. Just like this time. It's not a historical achievement or a political trend. <i>It's a marketing campaign.</i> It even won an award, for dog's sake!

It has persisted ...Will Bernie's movement last? It has persisted for centuries in the hearts of equality minded people, thirsty for justice, those who don't believe that law = vengeance {or that only the powerful deserve that satisfaction, and never upon them.)<br /><br />Bernie's movement, which some point to Obama and call it a 'hangover' are proof that the Democracy the founders dumped on us doesn't work.<br /><br />Remember, more than half of those invited to the meeting to plan the new nation wanted another Monarchy (with every blessed one of them becoming nobles) but the 'wiser heads' prevailed [back then kings were 'born to die'] so they crafted the 'meat puppet system' where the public would elect a carefully vetted stooge who would remain silent when things went contrary to the public will...and naturally the job would pay a pittance...but it would be a lot to the fools they recruited for the History books. To 'prove it worked' they even took the first few slots themselves.<br /><br />They're dead and most of the rest of us only wish we were...while most people don't believe in hell, you wouldn't have to go to far find many that would opine our daily existance mirrors quite will what hell would be like, moments of ecstasy woven between long periods of agony and longing.<br /><br />but back to 'the movement'...if you squint and look at it with your head cocked left, you can see traces of the original 'Terror' at the fringes...and, as is sagely noted by historians, those who block the avenues of peaceful change invite violent change.<br /><br />That's where the much older than Bernie's movement is headed.<br /><br />Do the powerful think their technology will save them?<br /><br />Probably...but at what cost?Gegnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918737715343158105noreply@blogger.com
