Dem establishment disdains the Sanders revolution for the same reason that the Sanders revolution disdains the Dem establishment: “If you win, I lose power.” Nothing ever really changes. The story of America is a constant reenactment of the struggle between elites and the people

The irony is that the Sanders revolution, not a corporatized Democratic elite, IS a return to the soul of the Democratic Party. I’m old enough to remember when it had one so I know.

I hear you and agree with your sentiment in general. I’m disappointed you were treated poorly in the race. Thing is, I don’t believe the power dynamics in America have changed much since its founding. The elite have always had a vice grip on the rest.

The people who established our American democracy were elites themselves. They were landowners, they were slave owners. They were white European men. They were anti royalists for sure oh, but they were their own kind of elite.

We’ve always been both. Dec of Ind was signed by 56 men thus establishing the most enlightened & aspirational principles ever to form the founding of a nation. At the same time, 41 of them were slave owners. That totally dichotomous nature is at the core of the American character

This dichotomy is in our national DNA. I'd like to see us move toward resolving it, not just with more Soulful policy but with more Soul work too. That begins with prayer. Our polarized people could come together in prayer and miracles could happen for everyone in America.

If I seem unacceptably moderate at times it's because I want to see something wonderful happen for everyone in my beautiful United States, not just for me and the people who agree with me. Can you understand that?
