Bernie Sanders is nothing but a heckler

413. Sanders campaign on ideas based on a lie about a magical voter revolution

None of Sanders proposals could be adopted in the real world without this magical and mystical voter revolution. Sanders told his supporters to trust in magical thinking and magic is not real. Every one knew that Sanders' proposals were not realistic without a magical voter revolution. I do not believe in magic and so discounted this platform.

I live in the real world in deep red Texas (actually we turn my county blue last cycle). We are doing the hard work of turning the state blue by recruiting realistic and viable candidates who are running on real platforms. We are fighting GOP voter suppression and other tactics. This is not easy work but we are making progress. I spent most of Texas primary day in the war room of the local Democratic Party answering questions.

BTW, I attended one Our Revolution meeting and lost count of the number of times the term manifesto was used in that meeting. Manifestos do not win races in the real world. Real candidates pushing real proposals are what makes the difference. I was not surprised to see the Our Revolution people in my area attack a good candidate because he was Asian and I was glad that the candidate endorsed by the Our Revolution group came in third. I am now donating to the candidate who was slandered by the Our Revolution group.

My idea of fun was to take a candidate for congress to the meeting of the local Democratic Lawyers Association. It was fun watching the candidate mingle with a room of Democratic Lawyers. This candidate has already brought in a number of Asian voters and we could flip a district that I felt was unwinnable.

The real world is a nice place. It takes hard work to turn a state like Texas blue when you do not believe in magic. You have proven to me the accuracy of the premise of the OP. Advancing proposals that are dependent on magic is the same as heckling. Thank you.
