The framing must be ignored.

It's become apparent to me that the national political discussion is being framed. Not that is has never been but that it's being framed for a Hillary win/theft by how Bernie always seems to be trailing. Yet every event he holds is packed compared to Hillary, yet he's trailing seems to be the mantra.

I think that's priming the pump for a theft, especially when things are supposedly so close.

I personally do not think things are that close and the meme is manufactured.

Be that as it may, as another poster wrote, don't fall for it.

We must overwhelm!

Catch your breath and power up because *this* is the real unending war. The marriage of power and greed will never rest. It's not just about Bernie, but also the people after him.

We must overwhelm!

About ten years ago a book was published that detailed the 40 right wing think tanks funded by a billion dollars each year. The goal of these organizations is to limit the range of topics that get broadcast to the world and frame how these topics are to be understood.

Many of the talking heads have been trained in these places and they have been very effective in directing the way Americans think about issues. Climate change is a very good example. Many here can see through the confusion spread about this issue but still are not able to do the same with so many other issues.

No we can't is true for those living in the right wing world. There are many wise people that quietly offer rational solutions to many of the problems that we face. It is time to listen to these voices. It is time to elevate a different and rational approach to our problems.

Sanders offers us a chance to take a fresh look at the world around us. Sanders offers us a chance to explore new possibilities in the way we deal with our challenges.

Sanders offers us a chance to Change the Narrative.

Take the chance - accept the challenge - join the movement that can Change the Narrative.

The M$M and even some on the left have rushed to promote the notion that Bernie's momentum and chances are slipping since Nevada. I disagree.
There's a LONG WAY to go yet and Bernie is leading in 3 recent national polls including Quinippiac Feb. 13, and beating everyone, including TRUMP.

Democratic Party has been oozing over to.

Grandson and I got our sample ballots today, O'Malley is still on them, strange, and we can't wait to vote early, at the post office, next week! Hopefully we can evade The Control of the Right and get to the library! This will be first vote for grandson.
