With a powerful message, we can win voters in every state - Bernie Sanders. [View all]

From today's email:

Sisters and Brothers -

Throughout the course of our Fighting Oligarchy Tour we have made it a point of going to a number of places that have had people asking, "Why in the world are you going there, Bernie?"

Places like West Virginia.

The truth is that the agenda of the Republican Party that dominates in West Virginia is NOT popular. Very few Americans believe that it’s appropriate for one person to own more wealth than the bottom 52% of households; that we provide massive tax breaks to billionaires; and that we maintain a corrupt campaign finance system that allows the very rich to buy elections.

My visits to West Virginia and other so-called "red states" on our tour have everything to do with my belief that our progressive message of justice -- economic justice, social justice, racial justice and environmental justice -- can resonate in every state in the country, including conservative states.

And it does resonate.

Please watch this video created by the organization More Perfect Union that documented parts of my visit to West Virginia. I think many in the Democratic Party establishment of this country would be very surprised by what you'll see.

WATCH NOW

It wasn't that long ago that West Virginia was a Democratic state with two Democratic Senators that voted for Democrats in the presidential election. But as time has passed, places like West Virginia have been abandoned by the Democratic Party.

We’ve got to educate, organize and mobilize working people in EVERY state in the country to fight oligarchy, authoritarianism, kleptocracy and the massive cuts to Medicaid, nutrition and education that Trump is proposing.

Not just in blue states.

Not just in swing states.

But in every state and every town in this country.

Let's get it done.

In solidarity,

Bernie

My take from this:
FLIP THE SCRIPT
Democrat versus maga is a gap that will never be bridged, but THE WEALTHY, with over 90% of the riches and damn near 100% control, are the "elephant in the room" that's shitting on everyone, and a way to UNITE people once they are not completely blinded by hate and lies. Bernie is busting his senior ass to make people aware.

Are you? Are we?
