Keep working. Keep spreading the word. It's working.

Headline: Huffington Post Declares Bernie Sanders Can Beat Hillary, the GOP, and Become President

"It turns out that the only reason Bernie Sanders was ever considered “unelectable” is because few people knew who he was. His growing popularity is in direct proportion to the increase in the number of people who come to learn of him and what he stands for. That’s according to a recent Gallup Poll, showing Sanders’ favorability rating doubling since March, while Clinton’s has fallen by nearly 9%. In an article at the Gallup website, Lydia Saad writes, “Sanders’ increased favorability reflects the broader increase in the public’s familiarity with him.” The only reason Sanders still trails Clinton is because he is “still an unknown to a majority of Americans, with just 44% able to rate him compared with Clinton’s 89%.”

1. I keep seeing that meme on Facebook..unelectable and

He'll never be able to implement the changes...why are those reasons to vote for Hillary? I really don't get it!

[arcane1]

2. That's just a trick to make people dismiss him in advance, BEFORE they hear his ideas.

It appears to be failing

[Ed Suspicious]

3. I really think we are approaching a sort of critical mass - a point where there will be

so many people spreading the word that you'll have to go through life with your head in the sand to not at least have heard the name "Bernie Sanders" in association with the presidency. It's coming. I can feel it.

[Ed Suspicious]

4. And another thing . . . working for Bernie is fun. The fun is contagious.

[Voice for Peace]

7. there is almost nothing else showing up on my Facebook feed nowadays.

I realize it's based on my own interests, but lots of "likes"
and "shares" from random people out there.

[SoapBox]

8. Ditto to both of your posts.

It is fun and REALLY exciting.

And this time I really do have hope for true change!

Go Bernie!

[Enthusiast]

14. It's the enthusiasm, Ed.

[Voice for Peace]

5. I tell folks just listen to him once for a few minutes.

that's been a good strategy. takes about five minutes
for the enthusiasm to kick in.

[virtualobserver]

6. I guess the logic is, let's stop deluding ourselves that meaningful change can occur......

we should accept our fate peacefully and listen to Hillary's pretty words.

[haikugal]

13. The lesser evil, once again...

I don't think it'll work this time...not at all.

[pocoloco]

17. The lesser evil has never worked!

Just held back meaningful change!

[haikugal]

18. True, I meant the selling of that idea won't work anymore because we've learned our lesson...

finally!

[stillwaiting]

23. The Executive Office is quite powerful these days.

A Bernie Dept. of Justice and a Bernie Dept. of Labor....

It makes me very happy thinking about how I would feel if that were ever to come to pass.

And, that is why I'm fighting for Bernie to win.

[haikugal]

24. Teeth...

Chomp, chomp!!

[SoapBox]

9. I've been waiting...

To create a post, to point out that he's almost at 1 million likes on his FB page (it's just under 975,000).

It's been growing like crazy for 2-3 weeks...when I started watching the count was under 700,000...it jumps after each rally.

I hope I see it hit a million.

10. Getting good response to my Bernie Sanders T-shirt

I also have bumper stickers on the front bumper and in the back window of my VW Sportwagen.

Wore my tshirt to the grocery store and 2 middle age black guys gave me (a little old lady)a thumbs up and both were raving about what a terrific guy Bernie is. In response to my question, they assured me they were both up to date in their registrations in the Dem. party and ready to vote for Bernie in the primary. Oh, did I mention they were black? Then I was answering questions about him from the woman who collects for the Salvation Army in front of the store. She's a registered Dem who is also an election worker.

And I want to add, I've been a registered Democrat for 52 years. I have worked on every presidential campaign since JFK. One of my kids worked for the DNC back in the 90's, when Ron Brown (RIP) was chairman, and she also worked on Bill Clinton's first inaugural committee. I was a BIG Clinton fan. I never felt the need to wear a campaign T-shirt. Until Bernie! It is my favorite item of clothing.

12. I've had 2 people comment on my Bernie tee.

The text underneath the image is hard to read, so they both asked what it stated. I was so happy to say these words!

"Time for tough love on Wall St. Minus the love."

11. The media is not our friend. -nt

16. It is boggling how things are stacked against The People.

I can barely believe the crap that is our political system today. The repubs get to spew hateful, lying bullshit & they are never called out on it. Acorn gone. Now they talk of shutting down the govt if PP doesn't get defunded. I can't even say how fucking ballistic that makes me! No money for abortion but unlimited funds for endless war - prolife party my fucking ass. And the media parrots their every word, never calls them out on it. They amplified the tea party voice & muffled Occupy.

Our cable package has finally given us Al Jazeera News with our subscription. It is amazing the diff between it & the others. And they actually cover international news, too! Who knew there was a whole other world outside the good ole USA?



I am already sick of election 2016.

[Enthusiast]

21. I am so with you.

And Al Jazeera is much better than American "News" outlets. That should not be.

Everything we were warned about growing up has come true and actual Americans are the ones responsible.

[haikugal]

25. Yeah, I like them too! They are better than any thing else other than Democracy Now.

True words Enthusiast.

[Enthusiast]

26. I would have to return to Dish Network to enjoy Democracy Now.

Damn, Time Warner.

[haikugal]

27. You can get it online...happy news.

I have an Apple TV and I send videos from the iPad to the tv to watch or just listen...hope that helps.

[Enthusiast]

28. Thanks, haikugal.

[haikugal]

29. Any time Enthusiast!

Enjoy!

[Enthusiast]

30. Some time ago I made a modest donation to Democracy Now.

We watched all the time when we had Dish.

19. Just got my bumper sticker yesterday.

Still have to print off a couple of "fringe candidate" pics for my side windows. I don't drive much though...but at least when I'm out there I will be seen.

[C Moon]

20. 2 months ago when I'd mention Bernie on FaceBook....(crickets). No replies.

Now Bernie is all I see when my FB friends are talking seriously about the primary—most of them are from California, where the news has been slow to surface about Bernie.
There are kicks/grins about Trump and the other clowns, though.

22. Our state fair starts next friday (Illinois)....

I'll be manning a table with our local PDA chapter (Progressive Democrats of America) passing out Bernie flyers, bumper stickers, etc. to passers-by. I'm expecting my new Bernie shirt in the mail in the next couple of days. I'm so excited! This is the first time I've ever actually volunteered for someone's campaign. He has a way of inspiring me that no candidate has been able to do!
