How Bernie Sanders is the right person to deliver real change.

Last edited Mon Jan 25, 2016, 09:17 AM - Edit history (3)

1. The majority of people support his agenda.

2. The people believe Bernie is honest and will work hard on their behalf.

3. He knows how the federal govt works but has not sold out.

4. Because of this knowledge (see 3) he knows that the only way he will be able to enact his agenda is if he uses the bully pulpit to get voters to push their representatives to get on board. (1 and 2 really helps here.) I think a new way to deliver information to the American Public should be constructed. The system as it stands is pretty much worthless. The new system should deliver the information directly to the people and bypass the corporate media and the political distortion.

5. Bernie will attract smart, competent people who will want to roll up their sleeves and work out the details of his agenda to serve the people not the 1%. (This should not be under estimated.)

Note: This whole dishonest political game of let me see a detailed plan so I can find things to distort and attack is ridiculous and an intentional political sideshow. Does anyone think it isn't going to take some smart people to work out the details of Healthcare for All (notice I said Healthcare NOT Health Insurance) or any other agenda item before it is enacted?

Feel free to add any ideas and I will update the list.
