12. I think he touched on where that corruption is when he mentioned the mid terms, and the DLC, though

he glossed over it. He definitely got the right message from the mid terms, the lack of a Progressive message, and of course the pushing by the Dem Leadership of Corporate Candidates, most of whom lost. THAT was the voters sending a message, which just like the last mid terms, when they sent a similar message, was ignored and turned into a 'blame the voters' rather than themselves.

He has good ideas and I hope he doesn't change too much because what he ran and won on should tell him to pay attention to the people, and ignore the pundits. They are so our of touch with reals people.

He is right about the fact that we are in a 'political moment'. Things are definitely at a crossing point. And he sees the urgency of grabbing that moment,.
