and start talking about his issues again like he did
at the beginning.
I hope continues to hold his rallies and speak out about his issues.
The smears and attacks need to stop tho.

So unless we want to skip elections (skip democracy) and let polling companies pick our leaders then we need to let the election play out and whoever wins will win.

(3,845 posts)So, yes, you're probably right, I'm not going to like the results next week. Even if Bernie pulls off an amazing fourth quarter and wins it I'm still not going to like how screwed up our "democracy" is. It sucks.
For some of us, this rigged system is more than a football game - and no, we're not happy, and won't be until working class people have the laws and elected officials on their side. It's not that 'we're with Bernie' - it's that Bernie's with US.
