(3,190 posts)All sorts of things wrong with your reasoning. Too many to try to type in my iPhone.
For starters, Bernie's no Obama? No s**t, really? He may not be young like Obama was, but it sure doesn't seem to affect his popularity with young voters. He may not be as "eloquent" of a speaker as Obama, but he has a simple, straight-forward and powerful way of speaking that sure seems to resonate with people. And charisma? I happen to think Bernie has a huge amount of charisma, it's just different from Obama.
And Bernie's major platform of creating a political revolution where people who have and have not been previously involved in the political process get engaged and stay engaged to pressure the powers in government to make the changes we desparately need. Sounds like a pretty damn good plan to me. Much more effective than people just showing up to the voting booth every two to four years and that's it (if they even do that)...going back to normal life thinking everything is just going to be peachy. How's that been working for us?
There's more, but tired of typing on this little keyboard.
