In reply to the discussion: Robert Reich To Bernie~ [View all]bjobotts
(9,141 posts)convention so his agenda will not be silenced by the likes of the DLC who cater to the big banks and Wall street for funding. Bernie was unheard of and nearly won the nomination without super pacs or wall street money but from millions of small donations from the voters. His political revolution will never be silenced as the mantle has been picked up from so many young activists. No one else is talking about these populist issues which the majority of Americans say they stand for when polled. The days of the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) were days of the lobbyists and money eyed interests eroding what the democratic party stood for...the working man, the middle class, civil right and minorities. Democratic Socialism is the only form of government which both ensures our freedom and our survival from the monopolistic greed of the wealthy few who are destroying the environment and the middle class. Thanks Mr. Reich for such a clear appreciation of the Bern.
