    As usual, Bernie is saying the right things and making an effort to push back in the Class War, which as Warren Buffett noted, "the rich are winning".  I am dubious about his potential for success with building a grassroots movement though.

    Problem 1 of course is activism is out of style for most Amerikans,and most of them areoverwhelmed with just trying to get by.  They don't want to risk what little they have in any kind of action.

    Beyond that is Bernie himself.  Although his politics are good, he's another geriatric.  What a new movement needs is a charismatic young leader who Millenials and Gen Z can follow.  Boomers need to get out of politics and make way for GenXers or later to step up to the plate.  Unfortunately, Boomers have held onto the positions of power so long, nobody from succeeeding generations has even had a chance to get known politically.

    Anyhow. at least this sets up an organization to rally arouund.  Just have to see where it goes.
