We all wanna change the world."*Sen. Bernie Sanders calls Pres. Trump "the most dangerous president in modern American history."— ABC News (@ABC) March 4, 2019
"We're not only going to defeat Trump, we're going to transform the United States of America." https://t.co/ckmEy0ayds pic.twitter.com/WfaGgb0sFf
(I'm pretty sure I used that 2+ years ago, on the same subject. Everything old is new again, amirite?)
Just saying: I know Bernie has already raised $10 million, and claims 1 million volunteers; but these are not winning campaign slogans. Nobody votes against the crazy guy (especially against the incumbent), they vote FOR the other candidate (didn't we learn that in 2018?). And nobody votes to transform America; that's the scariest idea of all, because what you might think transformative I might well think merely destructive. And you don't really broaden your base by declaring you are out to upend everything and start from a wholly new basis.
I mean, I'm probably on board for it, truth be told; but I've never found more than a few people who are with me. "Transformation"? Yeah, fine; as long as I don't have to change, amirite?
