So how do you expect any REAL change to occur if every president and congressman(woman) is tied to a lot of BIG money? HOW? It will never happen.And how exactly is he going to do all that when the people that have to power to enact these changes are all influenced by lobbyists in some capacity? See, what I'm saying? He's not being realistic.
The world isn't black and white.
But if you have a president that has no ties to that kind of $$$ from any one company. Then you have a president that only owes it to the people. yall need to learn how the game is played.
that means he has to go down swinging for the people since the PEOPLE paid for his campaign(which is whats currently happening). politics is simple. whoever pays for your campaign wins you as their politician and things on your list goes on his/hers to do list. its really that simple.
every now and then they will do whats right for the people. but for the most part its whoever you owe, is who you will hook up.
Now how do you change congress? Well we vote for those people. if a president that has ZERO big bank ties, zero big corp ties. is telling you these politicians(Dems/and Repubs) are holding up what you need/want to thrive due to their ties to these big money groups. YOU the people can vote someone else in, that isnt tied to the money. you know how? THe same way you would've raised money for Bernie you could do it for a congress person.
It needs to be SEEN first. For THE PEOPLE to believe they actually matter. Look when THE PEOPLE pool their money we become a large super PAC. its really that simple. Call it WE THE PEOPLE or some nonsense like that. WE can do it again for other reps. yes we always could. but we dont believe we have that kind of power, we dont believe everyone would join in. unitl it happens. and no better time than the present then for a dude like bernie to win purely off of The people's money.
It sets a tone that can stretch across party lines and go deep into the congress.

let the caliphate soar

He turned out to be a pragmatic and I have nothing but respect for that.
