1. It's a good slogan, but it might be too long.

4. Like it. One of the problems w. the campaign paraphernalia so far is.....

.... it doesn't connect the man ( Sanders) with a theme. When 90% of the voting population never heard of him.... which is more or less the case.... you want to connect the brand ( "Sanders&quot with one or more of the central themes. Eg. Income inequality.

Otherwise you have a Clinton-esque campaign based on just name recognition and a lot of inconsequential nonsense. ( e.g. vote for her because she's a woman, etc.)

No way will that approach work for the Sanders camp.

You've got something there.

But you better check your dates. Bernie has been right for more than 30 years. He was right in the 1970s and before. It's more like 50+ years that he has been right.

8. It sounds like a slam on other Dems who've used the word "evolve" for changing their position...

I don't want to discourage them from adopting liberal policies.

10. You think a t-shirt is going to do that?

Sorry, not seein' it.

I'm not afraid to show the difference between the two leading Democratic candidates and Bernie's 40-year (or 50-year) CONSISTENT history is something I want to highlight. If that hurts some other candidate's supporters feelings then maybe they shouldn't be backing a candidate who voted to slaughter millions for the sake of her political ambitions and then claim she made a mistake.

11. The Beltway has a rule to NEVER change a position on an issue....

Their logic is "Voters elect you to stand for something". They act like and politician that changes their position can't be trusted. Now we have them using the word "evolve" as a loophole which, frankly, I consider to be a slimy way of getting out. Still, it is a way for establishment types to change with the times.

BERNIE SANDERS : Evolved at Birth !

BTW, 1st post here. Haven't filled out my profile, yet ....but just a 'lil heads up: I'm an editorial cartoonist.
Met Bernie at one of the early "Fighting Bob Fest's" started by friend Ed Garvey. Bernie's message was the same then as now.

15. How about this ?

[ top line ] "They'll call me a Socialist ..."
[ insert Bernie pic below ]
"And I Am"

Bernie Sanders 2016

This would turn a supposed weakness into a strength. Also, reasserts that Bernie is an unabashed truth-teller.

BTW, How would one post images / attachments here ? I have a cartoon to share. Tx.
