also Berniecrats are popping up all over the country to challenge the incumbents. Nancy Pelosi and Debbie Whatshername-Schultz the DNC chair are being challenged by Berniecrats right now.
Is it an up-hill fight? Obviously. But we've got to start somewhere! Buck up buttercup.

Positivity is a good thing.
In our personal lives, on our daily path, to everyone we meet. If only I could perfect that, I'd be satisfied.
The wider world and those running it tempt us to engage in their game of life or death, its not healthy to meet them on their turf. Ultimately they are motivated by un holy goals, and we engage them for or against at our peril… We don't have to react, we don't even have to play along.
To all them I say, pfft… i don't give a damn about you or your vortex of manipulation and hate. I am not going to ride your merry go round, I'm not even in the park.

Another thing I don't think a lot of people are talking about is the lemming nature of Washington politicians. They may be bought and paid for but they also want to keep their jobs. If enough pressure is brought by constituents on Bernie's behalf they will fall into line to save their seats.

Sanders is taking off the gloves. He needs to continue to bombard and expose Hillary for what she is, bought by corporate America.
His line about her Goldman Sachs speeches was epic..."When you get paid 225 thousand dollars, that means that speech must have been an extraordinary wonderful speech. I would think a speech so great that you got paid so much money for, you would want to share it with the American people." BUSTED!

While I agree that Bernie did very well in last night's debate, I do NOT agree with your assertion that Univision orchestrated it in an unbiased manner.
I agree that they asked some very direct questions to both candidates and that they did a fairly good job with their follow-up questioning.
Problem is, this seemed to work to Hillary's advantage because of her insistence on giving long, drawn out, non-specific answers to initial questioning, thereby requiring more follow-ups and allowing her to dominate the majority of debate time.
On top of that, it appeared as if the Univision hosts had some kind of directive to not allow Bernie to speak for more than 30 seconds at a time without cutting him off and telling him he's out of time, while allowing Hillary to rant on endlessly.
I don't know if I'm the only one who noticed, or if maybe this is just my own bias towards Bernie coming out.
Either way, I would love to see the actual time allotment statistics from last night's debate.
Personally, I think Bernie won last night's debate hands down. Despite Univision's obvious bias in favor of Hillary.
Go Bernie!
They look at Bernie's supporters, roll their eyes, and declare "even if he's elected he's not gonna make a damn difference!"

I agree with your general sentiment here, but duality died in 2012. As we speak, triality is being born, and by the time we reach full term in 2023, everything based in duality will be history.
Our neo-cortex is where our divine consciousness resides and its time has come!

You must be young.
Older people have seen this time and again, its gotten beyond ridiculous to presume there is some change finally, we can believe in.
But hey, go head on, banging your head against their wall until the pain wakes you up.
But he won't be able to deliver anything he is recommending until there is no tea party, and a congress who is there to work on issues other than obstructionism. We don't have that now, and we won't have in January.
Bernie Sanders will not be able to accomplish anything he is promising with a Congress like the one we've got.

You keep repeating this as if it is a fact. Stop it! Here are the facts: Every seat in the House of Representatives is up for reelection in 2016. 34 Senate seats (10 Democrat, 24 Republican) are up for reelection in 2016. The fact of the matter is that the face of Congress could change every bit as much as the POTUS.
