I’m excited for the next phase. This was beyond what I was hoping for when I first read the Politico article back in 2014 saying he was thinking about a Presidential bid to change the narrative of the elections and I wrote him a dumb letter basically begging him to step into the ring.
I never imagined he’d get this far, that I would connect with so many likeminded people, or that the DNC would listen to any of our concerns. The cheers he received when he stepped on stage tonight strengthened my resolve and gave my hope for the future of the movement.
I haven’t liked that some supporters have turned on him because that was all very cult of personality especially since most of them only engaged because of him.
What I’m excited about is people seem energized at the local levels, like it finally clicked that it’s not just about the Presidency – that who is running our school board really matters. I am excited to see this energy turn into action on the grassroots level. I’m excited to see more people at demonstrations, engaging in the work you do to build a sustainable and strong Left-wing party, and even just taking their civic duty seriously.
Phase II: Let’s do this gang!!!
