Change can only come from below.
Gays have the right to marry in America because the issue was forced from grass roots pressure.
The internet is a utility ensuring "net neutrality" only because of pressure from the grass roots.
Black Lives Matter is a major civil rights force.

Yeah, Hillary is a puppet of the banking institutions but I see no reason why the Sanders Revolution can't remain cohesive after Inauguration Day 2017
and apply pressure from below along a wide range of issues.
Hillary needs to be torn between her Globalist instincts and political self-preservation, and the only way that is going to happen is if the Bern pressure going on today in Philly at the Dem Con is maintained.
Or, a guy beholden to Russian Oligarchs and racist Dominionists could win, in which case the Bernie Revolution is looking at getting rounded up.
Nasty choices, but still a clear choice.

Life is full of choices between the lesser of two evils!
Putin's bitch Trump must be stopped above all else.
