This primary seems so pivotal for the future of the United States

[Merryland]

Don't think I've ever felt so emotionally invested in a candidate as with Bernie - so believe that America could go completely to the dogs or just, just maybe, turn itself around from it's warmongering & spying on its own citizens...and that this is the election, maybe even the damned caucus - that decides our future.

1. Yes.

I was talking to my husband last night about retiring to another country if Bernie doesn't win. I fear the consequences of politics as usual prevailing.

2. True, every single primary and caucus is pivotal now....they are trying to bury Bernie, because....

each win for him weakens her inevitability argument.

Her bubble pops if he continues to gain popularity.

5. The bubble pop may or may not happen.

But, if it does, it will lead to the greatest political turnaround since the election of FDR in the 30's.

I would stimulate similar changes all over the World. It would be as pivotal as the French Revolution.

It would be the blueprint of how citizens are no longer at the mercy of the oligarchs, using their money to bribe the media and politicians. They now have personal communications devices that bypass the corrupt media.

7. very eloquent, thank you!

I think we feel, intuitively, how so much hinges - including the massive change you described - on this contest between Sanders and Clinton. It's disturbing & exhilarating at the same time!

10. I've never seen anything like this in American politics.

We did get pretty excited about JFK. But , Bernie's philosophy , personality and talents as a leader eclipse any present day American politician. I head him last night in a Nevada rally. No less that brilliant and amazing. Anyone who seriously listens to him is likely to "feel the Bern".

3. I heard him last night on TV from Nevada. He was simply brilliant.

He continues to hone his communication skill. He had that young crowd and me (the old crowd) in the palm of his hand.

If he needed me, I would hop a plane to wherever he wanted me and join the his staff. I'm a cynical old grump, but I'm am extremely excited that we have such a great candidate willing to serve us as our President.

4. I just watched Bernie's "Our Home" commercial about Latino families

who've lost their homes. It's brilliant.

6. Obama's election was a pivotal moment ...

... and the question now seems to be whether we "pivoted" far enough and need to ease up and roll back to where we were in the 1990s, or push forward.

Was Obama the start of a true, nationwide progressive push, or a momentary outlier we need to reel back in?

8. Great posts above

I think that we have come to a time where change is needed and when that happens, it is like an egg being hatched, where it is messy, but is evident that change is happening. I hope that made sense.

9. absolutely makes sense!

not to go all hippie on you, but it is like an I Ching hexagram, Difficulty at the Beginning. I hope that made sense.
