Such smart words! I don't know about location as I keep myself in the HRC Group!

Thanks for posting anywhere!

Even though the source text (where you cut-and-pasted FROM) may have had clear paragraphs, that was probably caused by formatting commands that are not transferred whenever you paste TO a new message.

The result is a "paragraph-less" and difficult to read nonstop blob of text.

I wish it could be posted in GDP; some denizens of that forum need to read it. Particularly:

The point is, you need allies in a democracy. That's just the way it is. It can be frustrating and it can be slow. But history teaches us that the alternative to democracy is always worse. That's not just true in this country. It’s not a black or white thing. Go to any country where the give and take of democracy has been repealed by one-party rule, and I will show you a country that does not work.


Sanders has very few allies that count. I'm not counting the likes of Susan Sarandon who has no influence in politics except for the Berniacs. The ones who count are allies in Congress, and more than one member there has commented on how hard, or impossible, he is to work with. The ones who count are potential members of Congress; the ones running now and who are getting no help from Bernie.

Sanders thinks he can go it alone in Washington...excuse me, except for all those people taking to the streets as part of the Revolution. Yeah, right.
