All revolutions take less than a year. Bernie is a failure.

The union movement. Totally decided in one year. The women's movement. Totally decided in one year. The civil rights movement. Totally decided in one year. The gay rights movement. Totally decided in one year.

The trans rights movement… they've less than a year left to secure their civil rights.

Maybe the last year was highly visible and it looked as if things were quick. Civil rights took time and is on-going even now. The right of women to vote took time. I do not know about unions. Equal pay is on-going. I have gay friends who waited decades to marry. Are you pulling my leg? I am not so quick when it is time to go to bed, smile.
